Services
- Family tree
- This features all members of one family line with the same surname, beginning with the oldest member to the present.
- Example of František Čech’s family tree
- Family tree with direct lineage
- Here the aim of interest is only the direct ancestors of the person in question and that either in the father’s lineage or the mother’s . In contrast to the classical family tree, only family members of the main lineage are depicted and not those of the secondary lineage.
- Example of Jan Čech’s family tree with direct lineage
- Ancestor chart
- This is a listing of all direct ancestors of one individual using the father’s as well as the mother’s lineage. Due to the multiplying effect of steadily increasing numbers of relatives the further one goes into the past, only ancestors up to the sixth generation are sought out. However, after consultation it is possible to dig further into the past.
- Example of an Ancestor chart

Completion time
You must calculate with a certain time period before you receive your completed order. Especially if you are thinking of presenting the result as a gift, please place your order well in advance.
It takes aprox. about 2 to 3 months to complete your order, however, this time period may vary considerably from case to case. It depends mainly on these factors:
- The type of your demand – generally we can say that the making out of a direct lineage family tree takes the least time, and on the other hand – the most complicated and therefore most time consuming is an ancestor chart or a descendant chart.
- The amount of initial information you are able to give me prior to the start of my research into your ancestors.
- Last but not least, the state and complexness of archival sources still in existence – these factors again are very varied depending on the specific situation.
