I am a Polish translator/genealogist who was born in Poland in the Swietokrzyskie Province in southcentral Poland. I am an American citizen living in Phoenix, Arizona who specializes in translations of Polish genealogical records which include deciphering of old Polish script and copies of microfilmed records. I have also translated the following:
Technical blueprints and manuals, school records, birth, baptismal, death, marriage, divorce certificates, business and personal correspondence, diaries, receipes, poems, webpages, Real Estate: purchase and sale contracts, brochures, depositions, etc.
Since I grew up in both cultures, Polish and American, I know and understand both cultures very well. I have over 20 yrs. of experience as a translator/interpreter. I'm fluent in both English and Polish. I am fast and accurate.

I had the pleasure to use Adela's services during a genealogical research in The Archive of Lublin, Poland. I don't speak Polish and she helped me through the whole process. I thought it would be impossible, and Adela made it so simple for me! I warmly recommend her to anyone who needs a reliable professional.
