"I´m very thankful for having Olia leading the search for the documents of my Ukranian family. She just find out everything, and even more than I ever imagine, explaining every little piece of history. I highly reccomend her work and all the researchers."

I was first put in touch with Olia and Andriy by a contact in Australia Krystyna from Lost Histories, in October 2021. Olia was able to find out a huge amount of information about the Polish side of my family that would have been completely impossible for me to research. All those that would know any information have long gone, so the information I've received is invaluable. Each step of the way has been explained in great detail including photos, maps both historically and to date, to help me understand the geography and genealogy. Each time a new development was possible, it was explained to me in detail to give me the full picture and why it might be important. Any question I had was answered in great detail in a timely manner. Incredibly Olia's research was able to continue on into this year while Ukraine was having such terrible trauma. I cannot thank you enough for your help with my story, my love and appreciation. Peace on earth, Kate.

This research is a project I personally have been wanting to have done for many years but didn’t know where to begin. When my cousin recommended Dorosh Heritage Tours, I jumped on it. I can’t say enough about the professionalism and quality of the genealogical research done by this company. My first contact with the owner and the staff was a very positive experience. Both provided immediate feedback when requested and there was constant communication. The research report was very detailed and the timeline for completion was as expected. This has been an eye-opening experience for myself and my family. Thank you so much Olia and Andriy. I highly recommend your services!

I have had the most professional and exciting experience with Dorosh Tours. I wanted to research my maternal line in Ukraine. I didn't have much information to go on and thought it would be very difficult and maybe impossible to learn about this side of my family. Dorosh /Olia really left no stone unturned and I was so happy with my research reports they provided. I now have names,dates and places to fill in all previous empty blanks in my family tree. I found the whole experience wonderful, even the price. I highly recommend their services. Wendy

I have been trying to research my grandfathers side of the family for many years with very little progress. This is until I contacted Andriy and his team, within the space of weeks I found out more than I found in many years of searching. I can’t thank them enough for the wonder research they’ve carried out, it’s been a smooth and enjoyable process from the outset and can’t wait to continue my journey with Dorosh heritage tours.

I’m so happy I worked with Dorosh (specifically Andriy and Olia) to find out more about my Ukrainian roots and relatives. Andriy located my family and put together a gorgeous presentation that showed me the birthplace of my father, the burial location of my ancestors, and the family parish where generations of my ancestors were baptized. From start to finish, whether it was working on my family history/genealogy or working to locate my remaining family in Volyn, Dorosh was the best. I would recommend their work to ANYONE! Will be working with them next year on my trip to Ukraine!
