Are you curious about your Family History and want to know more, but just don't have the ability or time to do the research yourself? Would you like to discover what interesting things might have happened to your Ancestors?

How much do you know about your ancestors? Were they pioneers, entrepreneurs, immigrants looking for a better life or just for religious freedom? What challenges did they face, what was their day-to-day life like? Do you know what motivated them to come to America?

Do you look like your ancestors? What characteristics or traits have you inherited from your ancestors? And what can they teach you about yourself and about your own life patterns and choices?

These are some of the questions that encourage us to gain more knowledge about our ancestors. Are there additional questions that have motivated you to explore your family history?

If you are curious about who your ancestors are and what places and events shaped their lives, then you have come to the right place. Genealogy research can help you learn about your family's unique history, traditions, origins, and how those things led to your life.

Allow The Genealogy Assistant be your guide on a voyage into the past. The Genealogy Assistant offers a number of genealogical and historical research services that can be tailored to meet your needs to can help you in the search for your ancestors. For us the reward is in the journey, whether we are researching your ancestors or our own.

Przegorzały Castle

Przegorzały used to be a seperate village near Kraków, but now it is a part of it. High on a hill while driving along the highway, you
can see this large mansion which is called Przegorzały Castle. It was built during WWII in about 1 year for the governor of the region. Although they call it a castle, I would classify it more of a mansion.

We wanted to get a good look around the place, but due to a wedding going on we were limited where we could go, so we did not have much time for exploring & one of the buildings was being renovated. Being on top of a hill, it has some fantastic views and overlooks the Wisła River.

The "castle" is also houses the Center for European Studies & the Center for Holocaust Studies for Jageillonian University. In the lower level, there is a restaurant.
