Genealogy – Your German Ancestors
I would be happy to assist you with genealogy or family research, both in establishing and expanding your family tree. Whether you are just starting out or have already gathered information about your ancestors, the more precisely you tell me what you already know and what questions you still have, the more targeted my research can be. The aim of my family research is to deliver reliable and verifiable results that you can use in the long term.
Genealogy: Professional support
Family research means more than just collecting names and dates. It enables you to understand the history of your ancestors and reveal family connections across several generations. An important part of genealogical research is working with historical sources. You can find typical documents from church records, registers and archives on my page with examples of old manuscripts, which provide a good insight into genealogical work.
Genealogy Research in Archives:
Regional, Nationwide, and International
My focus is on genealogical research in the Rhine-Main area – especially in Frankfurt, Darmstadt, Mainz and Wiesbaden. However, I am also happy to conduct research in other regions of Germany and internationally, depending on where your ancestors lived. I use microfilms, digitised church records and online databases such as Archion, Ancestry and Familysearch. This ensures that all results are carefully checked, comprehensively documented and permanently accessible.
