Why Choose Lost Histories?
Lost Histories is the original and longest-serving Polish research bureau in Australia.
We have 13 years' experience in the field with many satisfied clients behind us.
We have earned a reputation for commitment to our clients and for our specialised knowledge
that only time and hard work can provide.
In addition to Australia, we have assisted clients in the USA, Canada, France, South Africa and
many other countries - and we're happy to provide references as proof.
In order to keep down our costs, we do NOT advertise extensively - we don't really need to. Most of
our clients come to us by word of mouth - from other satisfied clients.
A satisfied client is our best advertisement!
So before you choose a research bureau to assist you, ask the following questions:
Is the bureau a genuine historical and genealogical SPECIALIST or is history merely something it "does on
the side"?
When a bureau makes a claim for being, for example, "the most renowned specialists in their field",
on what basis does it make this claim?
Is the bureau's Director a qualified historian with years of experience of Eastern European archives?
Is the bureau able to call on the resources of appropriate agencies and institutes in Poland and elsewhere
in a timely, effective and inexpensive manner?
How often will you receive progress reports and reassurance of work being done for you?
What is the estimated cost for the service(s) you require?
Is the research bureau local and does it have a reputation for being trustworthy?
