The kinematics of black hole and neutron star X-ray binaries in the Galaxy should help to know their birth place and constrain their evolution. We have used multiple tools of modern astronomy to determine the trajectories in the Galaxy and track the origins of black hole and neutron star X-ray binaries that are of topical interest in astrophysics. We find three distinct classes of black hole and neutron star X-ray binaries: (1) low mass X-ray binaries that move at high velocities on galactocentric orbits similar to the most ancient stars born in the Galactic bulge and the halo, (2) those that move in the Galactic disk along paths that resemble the circular orbits of massive stars formed in the disk, and (3) high and intermediate mass X-ray binaries running away from their parent regions of star formation. Here we discuss some of the cases studied.
