About Us
“People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive. It is as though they were traveling abroad.”
-Marcel Proust
Family history research for everyone
Babcanec Genealogical Consultants (BGC) was founded out of the pure excitement and enjoyment of genealogical research. We want to make this incredible field of study more readily available to everyone and provide research help at an extremely affordable price point.
We specialize in Eastern-European Genealogy: Specifically of the regions of Slovakia, Czechia, and Hungary, but we have done projects from all over the globe, and are willing to help with whatever region you want to research
We exist because we love what we do
BGC started because of our incredible love for family history. Formed by Joseph J Babcanec in 2023, we have formerly provided family tree research for numerous friends in the past and aim to provide the most detailed and accurate information as possible as a cost-efficient genealogical consulting company.
Joseph began his interest in genealogy from a young age. From enrolling in Slovak language lessons as a child, to constructing a family tree consisting of over 10,000 people, Joseph's love for family history has persisted through many years and hundreds of hours of research. Joseph currently is authoring a book in narrative form of his collected research for his own family, and would love to help you begin telling your story.
Tell your story in beautiful form
BGC also will begin offering custom made family tree art for your family to enjoy and pass down for years to come. We understand that cataloging your story is just as important as sharing it with the ones you love. Please contact us if you would like to set up a consultation for your genealogical data in beautiful artistic style. We would be happy to work with you to create a piece you will love.
BGC is also proud to announce our first affiliate partnership in family history narrative writing with Matt Medl. Matt is a professional writer and has worked with numerous clients to put their stories on paper. Growing up, there are so many treasured stories of our family that we hear, and cataloging those in a cohesive in poetic narrative can be difficult.
