Discover Your European Roots

Whether you’re just starting out in the process of looking into your family history or you’ve already made a lot of progress and know where you want to go, we’re here to assist you on your quest to discover your past in Europe. 

From setting up transfers and arranging accommodation in or close to ancestral villages that you have already identified, or putting you in touch with a local genealogist who can help uncover some of your family history, at JayWay, we know how to make your journey to discover your roots a smooth and stress-free experience. 

Get in Touch With Your Family Heritage

At JayWay, we’re right by your side every step of the way on your quest to uncover your family heritage, no matter which stage you are on your journey. If you’re just about starting the process of looking into your past, JayWay can put you in touch with an expert genealogist before crafting a tailor-made itinerary once you know where your ancestral home is.

If, on the other hand, you’ve already made progress and know where to go, JayWay is there to plan the perfect trip for you, adding to your itinerary all the places that meant a lot to your family while making sure a professional genealogist will be there for you to break the ice – and help you with translating.

The JayWay map covers a large expanse of Europe, particularly areas that saw a lot of emigration to the US. Therefore, we are no strangers to arranging tailor-made family heritage trips throughout Europe.

Jewish Heritage

Most American Jews can trace their ancestry to the Jewish communities of Europe. With the help of guides who are experts in Jewish history and their contacts in local Jewish communities, we can help you forge new connections with your family’s old neighborhoods.
