Document Search: Reconstructing History Through Archival Materials

What documents can be found?

These may include metric books with birth, marriage, and death records, revision lists, and censuses confirming residence and family status. Military archives may contain information about army service, awards, and injuries. Documents on repressed individuals help reconstruct the fates of those who were exiled or politically persecuted. Land and property records provide insights into real estate ownership, while deeds and wills reveal commercial and family relationships.

How does the search process work?

First, we analyze the request and assess the availability of sources, determining which records might have been preserved and in which archives they are stored. Our specialists then examine archival documents. Once relevant materials are found, we obtain copies (or archival certificates if required), compile a final report, and provide it to the client.

Where is the search conducted?

We conduct document searches in state, municipal, and military archives across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands, France, Italy, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, and other Central and Western European countries.
