Welcome to Genealon,
your home for European genealogy!
Who we are
➣ We are a company that provides professional genealogical services, specializing in European families.
Genealon provides personalized services based on our clients' goals — searching for family records to apply for European citizenship, locating long-lost relatives, or simply building your family tree.
Our founder: meet genealogist Flavia R. Haikal
➣ Hello everybody! My name is Flavia. Ever since I was little, I have always been very interested in my family and where they come from. This curiosity of mine led me to great discoveries about my ancestors.
My family comes from different regions of Europe — mainly Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Poland, and so on.
Thus, my genealogical research experience first began based on my own family.
➣ Subsequently, I worked tirelessly in companies specializing in German and Austrian citizenship procedures.
I had the opportunity to work on and analyze more than 180 genealogy cases, and so I was able to find hundreds of documents (civil and religious) such as birth, marriage, death, residency and nationality certificates — in addition to proof of religious or Nazi persecution and governmental reparations (e.g. compensation payment or restitution) — for many descendant families of European immigrants.
➣ Many came from areas that belonged to former German and Austrian territories, so I got in contact with various archives and notaries from different European countries.
I was able to help many families receive the documents necessary to obtain German and Austrian citizenship, having had hundreds of satisfied clients.
➣ Today, in addition to all my practical experience, I am a member of several genealogical societies in Europe, the United States, Israel, and South America.
I also speak and understand English, German, French, Portuguese and Hebrew very well. I also have some knowledge of Dutch, Polish, Czech, Russian and Ukrainian.

Associations and affiliations
➣ These are some of the genealogical associations and affiliations in Europe, the United States, Israel, and South America of which our founder is a member.
Our mission, vision, & values
➣ Our mission is to help descendants of European immigrants discover their roots in depth.
From an initial analysis of your family, we seek different types of documents on demand — thus discovering valuable information about your family — whether for personal or foreign citizenship purposes. We strive to provide the highest quality genealogy service.
➣ Our vision is to be one of the most relevant and respected European genealogy consultancies, always guided by our goals and values.
➣ Our values are based on honesty, ethics, confidentiality and seriousness. In addition, we draw on Jewish philosophy and two particular concepts:
Tzedakah (Hebrew: צדקה), a word that comes from the root Tzedek — meaning "justice" and "integrity" —, which refers to charity, helping others, and, in a broader sense, social justice.
Tikkun Olam (Hebrew: תיקון עולם) refers, in general terms, to "repairing the world"; bringing it closer to the harmonious state for which it was created. This concept commonly alludes to social justice.
The term Tikkun Olam is also made up of three words that configure values and practices: justice (Tzedakah), compassion (Chesed), and peace (Shalom).
According to Rabbi Yitzchak Luria, one of the great teachers of Kaballah (קבלה) — a school of thought in Jewish mysticism — every activity contains a divine spark. In this sense, we must develop it in a way that reveals a higher and divine purpose, according to the teachings of the Torah.
In Judaism, Tzedakah and Tikkun Olam are considered means of achieving a Mitzvah (מצוה), that is, a positive commandment; a good deed.
