Have you ever wondered why your Polish ancestors had multiple names? 🇵🇱🔍

One common reason for name variations in Polish genealogy? Formal vs. everyday names! In Poland, many people had an official given name (used in church and legal records) but were often called by a nickname or diminutive in daily life.

For example:
📜 Stanisław might be known as Staś or Stach
🌸 Jadwiga could be called Jadzia

These informal names often didn’t appear in official documents, which can make it tricky to track your ancestors across different records.

🔍 Research tip: When searching, consider all possible name variations, including nicknames, diminutives, and translations. Your ancestor might be listed under different versions of their name in various records!

Ever wondered what your Polish ancestors did for a living? 🇵🇱 Here are some traditional trades that shaped Poland’s history:

🔨 Kowal (blacksmith) – masters of fire and metal, blacksmiths were essential in crafting tools, weapons, and horseshoes. They held a respected position in villages and towns.

👞 Szewc (shoemaker) – before mass production, shoemakers hand-crafted durable footwear, often passing their skills down through generations.

🌾 Rolnik (farmer) – the backbone of Polish society, farmers cultivated grains, vegetables, and livestock, playing a crucial role in sustaining local communities.

These occupations reflected Poland’s historical social structure, where artisans, merchants, and peasants each had a unique role. Over time, industrialization transformed these trades, but their legacy still lives on in Polish culture today.

Did you know that Poland’s history of partitions can complicate genealogy research? 🇵🇱

Each empire had its own language and administrative systems, so records may be in Russian, German, or Polish. Additionally, religious practices varied by region, influencing where to find church records like baptisms and marriages. ⛪

1️⃣ First Partition (1772): Poland lost a third of its territory to Austria, Russia, and Prussia.

2️⃣ Second Partition (1793): Further divisions, mainly between Prussia and Russia, left Poland with only a small portion of its land.

3️⃣ Third Partition (1795): Poland was completely erased from the map, fully divided by Austria, Prussia, and Russia, until it regained independence in 1918.

The partitions also led to migration and displacement, so your ancestors might have moved across borders, and their records could be scattered. The shifting borders, language changes, and record loss over time can make research tricky, but with patience, it’s possible to piece together your family’s story! 🧬

If you're diving into Polish genealogy, understanding the historical context of the partitions is key to unlocking the past! 🔍

The Polish word "proszę" has several meanings depending on the context. 🔍 Here are a few examples:
👉 Please – when making a polite request
👉 You’re welcome – as a response to “thank you”
👉 Here you go – when handing something to someone
👉 Pardon? – if you didn’t hear someone

Our Story

Located in Poland, we provide not only unique genalogy tours for individuals and groups, but also reliable advanced genealogy research. In 2004, the founders of our company: Tom and Adam, took part in an internship program in Harrisburg, PA. Being recognized as Poles, almost every day they’ve heard: - ‘are you Polish? Great! My grandma was from Poland.. - How do I find out more about her family?, ‘I’d like to visit Poland one day’, - ‘Do you know the meaning of my surname ?’, etc.. Ancestry was already Adam’s passion while Tom already had some good background in tourism.. Shortly, after coming back to Poland they combined these two interest together and started GENEALOGY TOUR – a company that has successfully been providing the highest quality genealogical services for nearly 15 years… Check out our services and become one of a few thousand satisfied customers we served so far..
