Genealogy Research

Are you interested in tracing your German family history but aren't sure how to go about it? Is the German language posing certain difficulties? Are you having problems regarding how and where to find the right place to start your search in Germany, and then exactly what that information says about the history of your ancestors? Passenger lists, emigration registers, old church documents, and the registry office such as marriage and birth certificates all provide some of the most valuable information and can not always be found on the internet. This type of research sometimes must be done directly at their respective buildings. I would like to do this research for you. Price

Background Information

Are you interested in learning more about the birth town of your ancestors? Do you have the desire to visit this town? I can send you information about the town's history where your family lived and what the town is like today. If interested, I could also send you maps, brochures and other interesting material related to the town. Did your family own a farm? It may be also possible to find out specific information about the history of the farm or other professions or activities in which your ancestors were involved. Price

Translation of German documents and documents in old German script

It is possible that some of your German documents are written in old German script. This script, also called Suetterlin was often used in Germany up until the 1940's. There are few people in Germany able to read this type of script and it would pose an enormous hurdle for someone whose mother tongue is not German.

Are the old letters and diaries of your ancestors still in old German script because you were unable to translate them? What a shame it would be if these treasures remained unread in a box in the attic. A majority of the old church documents found on microfiche are written in old German. If you have already tried to translate these documents, you will probably have found many words and sayings no longer in use.

I can translate documents starting around the 18th century. I will not only translate the documents into English, but I will also give you a detailed description of words no longer in use and their meaning. Price and Contact
