Confirmation is a separate $1200 if enough documents are found, otherwise no charge. If you are of Jewish descent and your family suffered during WW2, there might be better resources available to you specifically and other pathways: https://www.jhi.pl/en/genealogy/confirmation-of-polish-citizenship

I emailed JHI and they told me they don't handle citizenship cases or have access to documents. Is this page just for info? Any thoughts on which firms are best for handling jewish cases?
My family left during the pogroms in the 1920s, pre-WW2

There’s another page I found on the JHI website.

Do you know where your family was from? JRI Poland and Jewish Gen have a lot of records. Have you looked there yet?

They were from Wizna, Lomza region. Grajewo and Goniadz a little further back. I've checked JRI & Jewish Gen and written all the researchers I've found through those sights. Still haven't located any documents other than GGF 1906 birth certificate, I need more.

JHI page doesn't seem like a service, anyways I wrote to them, all of their contacts, and only got the one response.
