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.

Lipnica Murowana Wooden Church

DSC08833St. Leonard If you are traveling along the trail of wooden churches in the area of Kraków, you will come upon the small town of Lipnica
Murowana, where there are three churches. It is unusual to have so many churches in a small town, but I guess it is known as the city of saints.

The oldest of these churches is a wooden church that has its origin in about 1144. St. Leonard is one of six wooden churches in Southern Little Poland that is recognized by UNESCO for its historic value.

Other churches in town are St. Andrew & St. Simon, but I was mostly interested in seeing the small wooden church of St. Leonard. I am totally fascinated with these old wooden churches and amazed at their survival over the centuries. The craftmanship of the structure & artistry inside is wonderful.

The town cemetery is at the old wooden church, so when you pay the cemetery a visit, you will be at the oldest church in town.
