Hello! This is my first post to polishorigins, as I just joined yesterday and have only been seriously researching my family's roots for the last week or so (though I'm picking up on a lot of important research that my aunt has been working on for years). In other words, I'm a bit of a beginner.

I'm going to Jaroslaw and Sieniawa (both relatively close to Przemysl and Rzeszow) this week on Thursday and Friday. I unfortunately don't speak Polish but would love to do some on-the-ground research there. Can anyone recommend an English-speaking genealogist in that general area whom I might be able to hire to work with for a few hours? I have contacts to genealogists in Warsaw, but was thinking it could be good to higher someone from southeast Poland (probably from Jaroslaw, Przemysl or Rzeszow) who has a good knowledge of the region and its documents.

Anyone know a researcher to recommend?

Thanks in advance for any help any one can offer.

Hello Josh,

Although I currently also live in Warsaw area I come from Rzeszow region. It is only two days left and it will be hard to prepare profound plan of research but if you are thinking seriously about conducting the two days research on the spot contact me until the end of today. Details of my research trip standard offer you will find here: http://tours.polishorigins.com/ .

Hi Josh,
How was your trip in April 2011? I'd like to know if you found info about your ancestors. Successful trip?
I just got back from that same general area, but a little north. However, we flew into the Rzeszow airport. I don't speak Polish either, but I am lucky enough to have some Canadian cousins who traveled with me and they speak Polish. It was a great trip! I'd like to hear about your trip. What villages did you visit?
