Russian Genealogy Research

Service Description

Russian Genealogy Research is a comprehensive family history research service designed to trace a single family branch for approximately 100 years, starting from a known ancestor. To begin the research, you should provide all available information about your ancestor, including full name, date and place of birth, marriage and death (if known), places of residence, religion, occupation, and any family documents or photographs. The research includes a systematic search of Russian archival records, parish registers, metric books, revision lists, confession records, census records, and other historical documents related to your family branch. Every available source is carefully examined to reconstruct your ancestors’ lives and expand your family tree as far as the surviving records allow. The standard research focuses on your direct ancestral line. However, upon request, I can also document all relatives discovered within the same family branch, including siblings, spouses, children, cousins, and other related family members, creating a more complete picture of your family’s history. The research usually covers a period of approximately 100 years and may take 8–12 months, depending on the availability and condition of archival records. All confirmed information is organized into a structured family tree and can be delivered as a GEDCOM file, allowing you to continue your research in genealogy software such as MyHeritage, FamilySearch, Ancestry, Geni, or other genealogy platforms. If additional records are available, the research can be extended beyond the initial project to include biographies, military service records, education, employment, awards, property ownership, migration records, and other historical documents that provide a deeper understanding of your family’s story. This Russian Genealogy Research service is ideal for anyone wishing to discover their Russian ancestry, preserve their family history, and build a well-documented family tree based on reliable archival sources.
