We maintain active relationships with national, regional, and ecclesiastical archives across twelve countries — accessing records not available anywhere online.

Fully Documented Sources

Every name, date, and place in your report is cited from a primary source. Your family history will stand up to scrutiny for generations to come.

Client Stories

Families Reconnected

I'd spent years trying to trace my grandmother's village in Galicia. Koreni found her baptismal record from 1898 within three weeks. I actually wept when I saw the handwritten page.

Margaret T.
Polish–American, Chicago

The Deep Dive package gave me five generations I never knew existed. The report is the most beautiful document I own. My whole family has read it cover to cover.

David Novak
Czech–Canadian, Toronto

I was skeptical any records could have survived. Koreni found church books from the 1840s with my great-great-grandparents' names right there in the original ink.
