What Are Ancestral Town Visits

Lots of people dream about visiting the places in the Old World where they or their ancestors were born. Unfortunately, due to lack of time or other reasons, not for all of them these dreams come true.

If you are dreaming about visiting your ancestral town but cannot fit it into your busy life style or would like to know what is there before going, our customized visits to ancestral towns on clients' behalf is the way to go.

As the result of our visit on your behalf you will receive:

  • Interviews (summary translation) with the locals about your family - standard
  • Photo album with photos individually labeled and identified (cultural and historic sites, local town views and any former family addresses provided by client) - standard
  • Video (VHS; NTSC/PAL) of the photographed sites plus interviews with local residents, town historians - optional 
All your family will enjoy a photo album and/or video of your ancestral town. Parents or grandparents will hug you to death for letting them see the places where they used to run barefooted. For you and your kids it may be the last chance to have a glimpse of the fading charm of small East European towns before it all gets completely covered up with gigantic nature mortes with whoppers and portraits of Joe Camel. 

Currently we arrange Ancestral Town Visits in Ukraine and Poland.



 
 

Who Visits the Towns

One of our researchers or guides, a photographer and a cameraman (if you order a video).



 
 

How Long Does It Take

If no additional research (e.g. identification and verification of locations and addresses) is required, a standard assignment takes about six weeks. Actual time - as well as cost - depends on the specific locations, number of locations and addresses, etc. We usually give pretty accurate time estimate once you provide us with your initial data and requirements. Please, feel free to write



 
 

How Much Does It Cost

The minimum cost of a standard package is $900. Specific price quotes are provided after the assignment is defined, for - as well as time - the cost depends on the specific locations, number of locations (multiple towns/villages) and addresses, optional features, etc. We usually give pretty accurate estimate once you provide us with your initial data and requirements. Please, feel free to write

Saving tip: by combining an ancestral town visit with archive research (pertinent to the visit) you may pay less than for those two services separately.
