„I had the pleasure to work with Anna Zalinska and I want to start by saying that her work and discoveries helped us reveal a few unsolved questions about our family. Although, I’ve invested endless hours in researching my family history including most of the online databases, I could ave never find the quality of information Anna found. She listened carefully to my family story, asked smart questions and then researched in places that only a specialist could know about. Anna even found testimonies of people who knew my family that provided priceless info that I couldn’t have found without her. Amazing researcher and looking forward to work with her in the future!”

“I have had an association with Anna Zalinska for many years, and she has done very valuable archival work for me, as well as tracing my uncle’s close contacts from the time when he was resident in Poland after the Second World War. Anna’s skill and experience as an archivist, as well as her determination and persistence, have been invaluable in tracking down those that my uncle knew, and she unearthed some real surprises, including a portrait of him in the living room of one of these contacts, and fifty postcards that he had written, all of which Anna translated. I am going to include these in the book that I wish to write about my uncle’s life.”

„I am very happy to write this letter regarding the genealogy work Ms. Anna Zalinska has accomplished on my family history in Poland. Ms. Zalinska is very knowledgeable, multi-lingual, and she clearly enjoys her work! She works quickly and reports her findings with such enthusiasm! She will pursue a lead relentlessly and will travel to town halls, churches, libraries to locate the documents, photos, or any other data needed.
Ms. Zalinska is an excellent researcher paying very close attention to the smallest of details. It was her keen attention to details in documents from the 1700’s that led her to discover changes in the spelling of my family surname which I had never even considered, presenting more questions and mystery regarding the origins of our name and heritage.
With Ms.Zalinska’s expertise, we continue this fascinating research on these latest findings. I look forward to being able to return to Poland to accompany Ms. Zalinska to the sites where she has discovered records on my family. I would like to experience the excitement of viewing the records with my own eyes and putting more of the pieces of our „family history puzzle” together. Working with Ms.Zalinska, I look forward to learning more about the region of Poland where my ancestors lived and I look forward to spending more time with my relatives there.
Most importantly, it is my belief that by learning about our heritage and the lives of our ancestors: their work, beliefs, decisions, sacrifices and struggles in behalf of family, community and country, we can better understand our own lives, and the importance of honoring those who came before us.
Ms. Zalinska is an excellent researcher and scholar. I enjoy our continued collaboration.”

„Since I’ve been little I was always interested in my family’s history, however due to my place of residence I couldn’t find any information on them. Websites such as ancestry.com didn’t have any records thus being not resourceful. However I met Anna and she turned out to be great help. Mrs. Zalinska went on to schedule appointments and drive to parishes that held my family records and was able to construct a family tree that I wouldn’t have been able to do on my own. I’m forever greatful for her help and in the future I will be using her service in order to develop more of my family tree and learn more about my ancestors.”
