Tracing Your Roots: How We Help You Discover Your Family History
Every family has a story. For many Jewish families, that story crosses borders, languages, and generations. At My Heritage Road, we specialize in helping you reconnect with your roots in Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and beyond — and we take that responsibility seriously.

1. Research Before You Arrive
Before your trip even begins, we start digging. With your input — names, towns, documents — we:
Search public archives and databases
Contact local historical societies
Locate old maps, property records, synagogue registries
Identify family burial sites and former residences
You don’t need to know everything — even a town name or surname can be a starting point.

2. On-the-Ground Local Knowledge
Our team knows where and how to search offline — in dusty town halls, local libraries, and with neighbors who still remember the names.
We work with:
Municipal record offices
Cemetery caretakers
Local elders and historians
Rabbis and Jewish organizations

3. Emotional and Personal Connections
Visiting the street your grandfather grew up on, or placing a stone on your great-grandmother’s grave — these are powerful moments. We help you get there with meaning and respect.
We’ve helped clients:
Reconnect with long-lost relatives
Find synagogues where ancestors prayed
Uncover family stories lost for decades

4. Documentation & Keepsakes
We don’t just show you the places — we document them:
Photographs of key locations
Copies of archival documents
Personalized heritage booklets or digital summaries
You’ll return home with more than memories.

5. Every Journey Is Unique
Your story isn’t just “part of history” — it is history. Whether you’re traveling solo, with family, or representing a loved one, we’ll create a route and experience tailored specifically to your needs.
