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.

Kraków Rynek at Night

IMG 2495Sukiennice (Cloth Hall)I have been to the rynek (town square) in Kraków many times, but had yet to see it at night, so Gosia decided that we would goand see the night activity in Kraków.

It had been a hot Saturday and the evening temperature was beautiful. Everyone was out and about this evening, probably partly due to not being able to do much during the warm daylight hours. The rynek was bustling with activity and there were people everywhere. Old town was lit up from all the store fronts and the accent lighting in rynek.


The view of Wawel Castle at night was fantastic and I even was able to get a photo of the dragon breathing fire at night.

Rynek at night is wonderful. I am able to see Sukiennice (Cloth Hall) all lit up along with St. Mary's Basilica and all the vendors.

You may not have the chance to see Rynek at night, but if you do, you must go, it is so vibrant and full of activity. The almost full moon made it extra special.
