Thank you for visiting my profile!

I am Marina Brizhatova, a professional genealogist and the founder of Genealogy Rocks, a small yet dedicated bureau. Since 2014, I have been building a strong reputation in family history, heir research and probate cases, helping people reconnect with their heritage across different regions.

Genealogy has the power to unite people. In a world where politics often create divisions, it stands as a testament to our shared humanity. It’s more than just mapping out family trees — it’s about uncovering the narratives that weave through generations, transcending borders and ideologies.

Although I work with a small team, my dedication, expertise, and ability to build strong connections have allowed me to establish a global network, reaching even the most complex and hard-to-access regions. Where large companies require entire regional departments to navigate international genealogical research, my hands-on approach enables us to achieve the same results efficiently and personally. Every case is handled with meticulous attention, ensuring high-quality research while maintaining a cost-effective structure.

Beyond that, we pride ourselves on being flexible and client-focused. No matter how intricate, confusing, or lengthy the process may be, we always adapt to the needs of our clients. We approach each case with an open mind and a willingness to go the extra mile, tailoring our methods to fit even the most unique and challenging requests.

Our team is based in Turkey, with an extensive network of connections worldwide. Our primary focus in recent years has been probate research, specializing in heir tracing across Iran, Egypt, Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, the Middle East, Central Asia, the Baltic countries, and Ukraine. We are committed to handling complex international cases with precision and dedication.

We are passionate about using our expertise to help you uncover your family's past and resolve legal inheritance matters. If you have any inquiries, feel free to reach out.We are a small group of people based in Turkey, Bulgaria, and Russia with a vast network of connections worldwide. We have worked hard to build our reputation and are eager to assist with your needs. Currently, we are unable to accept requests with short deadlines, as our research process takes 5-8 months or even longer, depending on the complexity of the task. We are dedicated to using our expertise to help you connect with your heritag
