Stages of work:

  • 1. Interviewing

    In order to create a wholistic impression of your family’s history and deeds, we carry out and interview with you and those rlatives of yours who possess the most clear and consistent information on your family’s past. Information that’s been gathered in this process is used as a basis for further search. If, in some cases, meeting with us in person is impossible, we will be sending you a questionnaire to fill out individually.

  • 2. Expertise

    After we analyze the initial data we possess, we begin inspecting reference material in order to determine and find out about sources of information in appropriate archives, libraries and data bases, as well as determining the direction of further archive research and investigation.

  • 3. Plan

    A plan of action is then formed, depth of search is outlined, as well as priorities and sequence of archives where the investigation is going to be carried out.

  • 4. List of expenses

    On the basis of course of action plan, an estimate of overall expences and services is outlined, where an approximate amount of work, actions and payment options are being offered. There is an option of paying in several installments.
