Genealogical research

„Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.“

— Shakespeare (Twelfth Night, Act 2, Scene)

Welcome everyone who visit this webpage. Maybe you have already made first steps on family history research or you are about starting the research.

The Pedigree or Ancestors Tree is the most popular form of genealogical chart. The number of our ancestors double in each line, e.i., we all have 4 grandparents, 8 great-grandparents, 16 great-great-grandparents, 32 great-great-great-grandparents etc. Genealogical research is limited by the period from which the church registers are available in given place. Usually, it is the first half of 18th century in Slovakia and Hungary, but it differs individually in localities. In case of noble families, there are historical records out of church registers as well, therefore we can go backwards several centuries. To start genealogical research, we would need to know the data of your eldest identified ancestors.

“Hálás köszönettel tartozom Klárának, aki nemcsak megosztotta velem becses kutatási eredményeit, forrásait, de még egy távoli rokonommal is segített felvenni a kapcsolatot. Őszintén örülök, hogy léteznek még ennyire kedves és segítőkész emberek.”

Karina Kerekes, London, UK, 2020

„I cooperated with Klara Veres on researching our mutual ancestors in our family trees over several years. She helped me greatly in locating the death records of my great grandparents as well as resolving the complicated issue of identifying the right relations when several persons of the same name were listed in the records. She is a very skillful researcher and is very good at finding and investigating birth death and marriage records and other sources of information in Slovakia and Hungary. I can highly recommend her services for any prospective ancestry researcher in Slovakia and Hungary..“
