6. Printed family tree with seal in a tube
You will get to know your ancestors by opening the tube and breaking the seal – it's an experience!
Price: 2 000
This output is suitable for framing as a picture on the wall and as a gift. I choose the size of the paper and font at my best discretion, I try to adapt it so that the family tree is graphically displayed and familiar to read at arm's length. The standard paper is classic 4-sheet paper, but it can also be prepared for you on more durable types of paper such as so-called indestructible paper or on canvas. If you have a request for the type of paper, tube, font of the paper, paper size etc., let me know.
The printed family tree with a seal in a tube can be ordered as an addition to the family tree. It is possible to arrange for a family tree to be printed with a seal in a tube with the data you provide (i.e., without ordering a family tree).
7. Final presentation of research
You will read records in books (online) that are several centuries old and until recently remained dusty in archives. We will go from the youngest ancestor to the oldest in your already created family tree.
Price: 500 kč/30 min
The time required depends on the size of the family tree. For smaller family trees, it starts at 30 minutes, while for large family trees, it can take several hours. I will estimate the time required in advance.
I will present the research to you in a café in Prague or Strakonice, or online from the comfort of your home. Bring your family or sit them down in front of the monitor and turn the first page! And if you have any questions about the search, there will be time for them here.
The final presentation of the research can only be ordered as a addition to the family tree.
8. Stories from the lives of ancestors
A few stories from the lives of my ancestors:
Would you like to know stories from the lives of your ancestors? I will write them down based on the information I find. I will put the information I find into context, which may not be obvious at first glance. The story focuses on one specific topic - the passing on of a craft, the inheritance of a name, the number of children born into families... Such stories illustrate the family context of events, as in the case of my ancestors, about whom I have written stories elsewhere on this website. A lot of information is needed to write the stories, so this service is only available for large orders.
Price: 500 kč/story
Stories can only be ordered as an addition to a family tree.
9. Videostory
Using artificial intelligence, it is possible to breathe life into your ancestors on screen in a story based on data from your family tree. This can include "reviving" preserved photographs of your parents, grandparents, or other family members.
In this videostory, František Vachuška's ancestors, including those in preserved photographs, also came to life for a few minutes.
Price: 12 000 kč/1 minute
The price depends on the length of the video. We can agree on the length of the video, or I will inform you of the estimated length based on the amount of information in your family tree before starting work, so that you know the approximate price in advance. Video production begins only after your approval.
The videostory is based on the information found about your ancestors, but of course, I cannot guarantee that the appearance of people, places, environments, and other elements will reflect their actual appearance.
The videostory can only be ordered as a supplement to the family tree. We can agree on creating a videostory with the data you provide me (i.e., without ordering a family tree).

Using artificial intelligence, your ancestors will come to life on screen in a story based on data from your family tree. This can include "reviving" preserved photographs of your parents, grandparents, or other family members.You can request a complete price list without obligation using the order form below.
Each offer has a variant without death, because you will already know your ancestors thanks to their birth and marriage. Death is just additional information. If you want to save money and shorten the wait for results, choose the option without deaths. If you are interested in when your ancestors died, how old they were, and what they died of, choose the option with deaths.
Important information
- The prices listed include VAT.
- The price does not include postage for the delivery of the printed family tree to you. The resulting amount will be increased by the cost of postage to you.
- The prices listed are charged if all records are found. The final price is lower for any records that are not found.
- The final price may be increased by my costs associated with searching for persons at government offices and in archives and by the costs that government offices and archives will charge for providing records of persons. If the final price is increased by these costs, I will inform you after you provide me with information about the initial person.
- It is not always possible to find ancestors or all information about them. If I am unable to do so and this jeopardizes the completion of the order, I will inform you and we will agree on the next steps.
- The number of generations can be increased to as many as there are in the preserved data sources (registry books or other sources). The limitations result from the absence of registers or other data sources, not from my offer described above. If you are interested in how many generations can be traced and how far back in time it is possible to go, please ask me. I will send you a new offer along with my answer.
- How far back in time we can go depends on how many generations of ancestors you order. If the intitial person (see the section What I need from you to start searching) was born in the first half of the 20th century, then the ancestors in the 5th generation were born around the end of the 18th century and those in the 6th generation around the second half of the 18th century.
- Some, especially older, registers are very difficult to read, and searching for ancestors in them is more time-consuming. If this applies to the search for your ancestors, a higher price may be charged. If this should occur, I will inform you in advance.

Videostory: + 5 days/1 minute

These deadlines apply from the moment I confirm that the information about the starting person (see below) is sufficient to begin my work. I will inform you about the delivery time for other requests (see the Piece of the Mosaic option in the Offer) after clarifying the request. If you need a family tree by a certain date, please order well in advance and let me know.
What I need from you so I can start searching
This information should be at least one of the following: 1) date and place of birth (if it took place in Czechia), 2) date and place of marriage (if it took place in Czechia, or 3) date and place of death (if it took place in Czechia).
The search begins here, starting with you and going back in history.
Once I receive your order, I will email you to request additional information and clarify what you want to find out. I will also ask you for information about the starting person
Or you can provide me with all the information right away and you will get the results sooner.
Let me know if you would also like a printed family tree to hang on your wall, stories of the lives of ancestors and videostory.
