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.

Niepołomice Castle & Museum

DSC08198Niepołomice Castle was bult in the 14th century & is often called the second Wawel (After Wawel Castle in Kraków). It wasrenovated in the mid 16th centry. Today it houses a museum and is also used for weddings. 

Just outside the castle is Osada Podegrodzie which is a small Ethonographic Museum. It turned out that it was closed when we were there, but I managed to get a few photos through the fence.

Beautiful hanging flowers adorn each level of the castle. I have yet to identify them, but found them quite stunning.

The museum holds many artifacts and works of art depicting the history of the Poland and the area. The museum also houses taxidermy animals from a local hunting club.

Our day ended with a visit to Gosia's brother Adam & his family. I was able to meet his wife Kasia & their son David, who I was meeting for the first time. It was a wonderful visit.
