”Edgar and his team helped me overcome the biggest obstacle in my family tree - my Syrian great grandfather's side of the family. I've tried everything before, reaching out to libraries and churches in Syria for years, to no avail. I can't express how grateful I feel!”

”My grandmother was of Greek descent from Anatolia. This side of my family had always been a mystery beyond my grandparents. I heard a lot of stories through the years, but nothing I could confirm with solid documentation. Now, this problem is no more, thanks to Edgar and team. Thank you guys so much.”

”Years ago, I've decided to continue my father's project of researching our family tree. Despite the amazing resources available on several websites, nothing was helpful when it came to researching the Egyptian side of our family. I can say that Edgar solved this, bringing many records, which he has personally translated to English for me. Very helpful. I was able to find many ancestors I had never heard of.”

”I only knew about my great grandparents... I now know about their own ancestors on multiple generations. I did not expect anything close to this. Fantastic work, I recommend Edgar's expertise to anyone who has ancestors from Cyprus.”
