GENEALOGICA
Travels in Time
- Who We Are -
Genealogica is a company like no other.
As the world's best family history research and story-telling team, we have uncovered noble and royal lineages, reunited families separated by the Holocaust, and helped find the birth mother of one of the world’s leading financiers.
Prior to the inception of Genealogica, the team produced thirty-five episodes of the critically acclaimed, Emmy-winning documentary series Who Do You Think You Are?, taking high-profile individuals on tailor-made explorations of their roots in countries as diverse as Benin, Germany, Barbados, Latvia, England, Bulgaria, and the United States.
Genealogica has delivered extraordinary results to all of our clients, one of whom wrote to say:
"Thank you for everything you have done. I doubt I will ever give a present as beautiful or impactful as this."
- Our Core Offering -
Genealogica offers its clients a unique and extensive genealogical family portrait, providing them with educational and emotional insights into their own ancestries.
Partnering with the foremost academics in historical, genealogical, and DNA research, we piece together the narratives of our clients' family histories, weaving their ancestors' stories into the rich tapestry of relevant world events.
With proven expertise in unearthing unique and barely traceable documents, photographs, and heirlooms, we bring the people and places of each family’s extraordinary odyssey to life as we tell the story of their unique journey through the generations.
We then design and deliver the family legacy in any way our clients desire, from bespoke ancestral encyclopedias to physical journeys into the past.
- How It Works -
The Genealogica process begins with the creation of the Family Tree.
Armed with only a handful of names and dates, our team of leading researchers build the tree from which the family story can then be told, highlighting the ancestors discovered during the painstaking research process.
Once the family tree is in place, the search for the unique and extraordinary stories begins.
The team track down as many documents, maps, newspaper articles, redacted files, photographs, written or oral testimony, and any other pertinent records that exist, wherever they may be in the world.
Delving into public archives, private collections, libraries, churches, graveyards, records’ offices, and multiple government agencies around the world, Genealogica goes wherever the trail leads.
Once the records have been unearthed and the document trail has been pieced together, we work with our network of the most prominent historians around the globe to place the family's history within the context of the world events that took place at the time.
The narrative of the family’s extraordinary journey is then written by Emmy award-winning storytellers, published authors, and academic historians.
Finally, using the finest materials available, artisanal craftsmen design and bind the family history into a timeless and priceless work of art: the client's Ancestral Encyclopedia.
Should a client desire alternative services, Genealogica is happy to tailor any request to the client's wishes.
