Genealogical Research in Moldova: Restoring Family Lineage, Archival Search & Exploring Surname History

Genealogical research in Moldova offers unique opportunities for tracing ancestors and recovering lost family records. Many individuals seek to learn about their family’s past, confirm their nationality, or find relatives lost due to historical events. Our genealogical center provides professional services in reconstructing family history, searching for archival documents, and creating family trees. We conduct research in Moldova, Ukraine, and other countries, helping our clients uncover the mysteries of their ancestry.

Sources for genealogical research include vital records, confessional lists, revision lists, and population censuses dating back to the 18th century. Archival materials provide valuable information on birth, marriage, and death dates, as well as details on social status and places of residence. Our experts meticulously analyze genealogical records, conduct ancestor searches by surname and location, and piece together family histories.

Special attention is given to repatriation and confirmation of national origin. Many clients turn to us to verify their Romanian or Moldovan heritage, which may serve as the basis for obtaining citizenship. We assist in submitting requests to archival institutions, gathering necessary documents, and conducting genealogical assessments. Additionally, we offer personalized family history books containing archival records, photographs, and detailed family narratives.

Working with archival documents requires a professional approach and a deep understanding of historical contexts. Our specialists utilize state, church, and military archives, as well as modern genealogical resources. Regardless of the complexity of the search, we aim to restore lost family connections and help you learn more about your ancestors and heritage.

In addition, our specialists actively research other valuable historical materials that help uncover the biographies of people who lived in past centuries. Important sources of information often include personal records from the 19th and 20th centuries related to education and employment (service records). Special attention is given to local censuses conducted in cities and rural areas (family lists). Useful sources include military registration documents, as well as descriptions and plans of real estate. Materials related to Jews who lived in Moldova have also been preserved. All these sources allow for a more detailed understanding of the daily lives of ancestors who left their mark in history.

Time inexorably moves forward, carrying with it the pages of the past and the mysterious destinies of ancestors. It is difficult to imagine, but behind each person in the family tree is an entire lived life. These individuals left their mark in time, filling their lives with events, joy and sorrow, happiness and sadness. And despite the fact that they have long departed from our world, their legacy, like an invisible thread, connects us to the past. The importance of preserving this history is undeniable. The European Genealogical Center provides an opportunity to delve into it. Remembering, preserving, and respecting history means not only delving into our past but also strengthening our connection to what makes us a unique part of the present.
