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.

Benedictine Abby in Staniątki

Sunday morning we started out by visiting the Benedictine Abby in Staniątki which is a village near Niepołmice. The day started out with some rain, but that did not deter us at all, as umbrellas did the job of pretecting just fine.

This trip I now have had the opportunity to see the wonderful architecture and beauty of many old churches. I have enjoyed old churches ever since my trip to Mexico when I was 18 years old.

St. Wojciech (Adelbert) is the home parish for the nuns in this Benedictine Abby. This year they were doing some renovations to celebrate their 800th Anniversary.

It amazes me all the time that these place in Europe have been around for so long & the United States was not even a thought in anyone's mind. The USA is such a young country & Europe is so full of history.

BREAKFAST!

St. Wojciech
