What we stand for

Thorough Investigation

Genealogical research requires patience, expertise, and a relentless eye for detail. Our work is exhaustive and precise, making it very likely that no potential discovery will be overlooked.

Dedication & Reliability

Genealogy isn’t just about records—it’s about commitment. We approach every search with determination, treating each family history as if it were our own.

Our clients trust us because we don’t take shortcuts. We verify sources, cross-reference findings, and ensure that every discovery is backed by solid research. Accuracy and integrity guide everything we do.

Price Transparency

Our research requires extensive hours in archives and sometimes travel within Germany. While genealogy is time-intensive, we strive to offer a fair and transparent pricing structure that balances the effort involved with affordability for our clients.

Helping You Reconstruct Your Family’s Past

Our expertise lies in uncovering your family history by researching traces of your ancestors in German-speaking archives.

Our Services

We specialize in helping you uncover your family history by offering:

  • Acquisition of Certificates: Birth, marriage, death, and other official documents.
  • On-Site Research: Exploration through archives, directories, church and military registers.
  • Family Tree Creation: Comprehensive documentation of your lineage.

Getting Started: Information We Need from You

To begin the process, we require:

  • Full Name: Name of your German ancestor.
  • Date and Place of Birth: Key details to locate relevant records.
  • Marriage Information: Full name, date, and place of marriage.
  • Death Information: Full name, date, and place of death.

Please note: Without at least one of these essential pieces of information, it is nearly impossible to initiate the research. The more information provided, the better the outcome.

Why Choose Us?

Our process is thorough and meticulous. Many historical documents are not digitized or searchable online, making local, on-site research indispensable. Here’s how we work:

  • Time and Diligence: We navigate varying local records and repositories to uncover valuable information.
  • Depth of Research: We aim to provide additional details such as occupations, addresses, and sociocultural backgrounds.
  • Historical Context: Beyond data, we offer insights into the specific times and places that shaped your ancestors’ lives

What to Expect

  • Transparency: Regular updates on our progress.
  • Comprehensive Results: From 20th- and late 19th-century records to potential discoveries in earlier times.
  • Additional Resources: If desired, we can recommend further materials for your exploration.
