Professional Researchers In the Volhynia Area

For the convenience of our SIG members, we are providing a list of researchers who may be able to assist you in your research efforts. Please remember that these organizations or people work for a fee. Neither the Ukraine SIG or JewishGen endorse or recommend anyone. It is up you to evaluate and select researchers. You are solely responsible for your selection and the results you receive.
You can write to the researchers and ask them to give you a list of references. The Ukraine discussion group should not be used to discuss the merits or faults of these people.

If you are aware of other researchers or translators who should be added to this page, or have information that is more up-to-date, please contact the SIG webmaster. These should be restricted to Volhynia related researchers.

If you are having trouble locating and contacting the archives of the places where your family originated, if you can't travel to Eastern Europe yourself, or if you don't speak all the numerous languages of the region, a professional researcher may be the only way to obtain priceless genealogical information.

On this page we list professional researchers who do research in or near Volhynia. They may work elsewhere as well.

Not all researchers, however, are equally skilled, not all are equally reliable, and their fees may vary considerably. For each researcher listed, we've included a link to a webpage with more details about the service (if available).

Please note that we make no particular endorsement of these researchers, and cannot guarantee your results should you commission them to work on your behalf. Should you work with one of the researchers listed here, or if you work with or hear of another, please let us know.
