I'm looking for people around that area, too.

Are there any professional genealogists based in Przemyśl?

I looked at the websites of some based elsewhere in Poland, and what with costs of trips to Przemyśl and whatnot, it looked like it would cost an absolute fortune. I suppose if there is a local specialist then the cost would be somewhat lower. The most off putting thing was that they appear to charge by the hour, and the intimation was that they couldn't say in advance how many hours work would be involved. I'd have much preferred a set fee.

my dad was not adopted and our name is Saganowski - he didn't say too much but that he and other boys were taken care of by a priest

Thanks - I sent the mail.
