You are the next chapter in this book. Keep writing!
Individual family trees
Whether you're looking for a classic family tree, a representation of the direct maternal line, or a compilation of patchwork families, including your beloved pet—I'll create a family tree for you that exactly meets your needs and tells your story.
Exploring European roots
Many family histories extend beyond national borders and continents. Perhaps you only know your European roots by hearsay. Let's discover your ancestry in detail. I will accompany you in the search for ancestors who emigrated from Europe and investigate their family history in their country of origin. My focus areas are Germany, Austria, Croatia, Italy, and Poland.
Search for ancestors
I conduct targeted research into your ancestors. This usually begins with your great-grandparents and then moves on to further back generations. I often discover unexpected family branches that amaze my clients. In any case, you will gain a more accurate picture of your origins and thus of your past influences.
Find people
A lack of knowledge about one's ancestry often deeply affects people. Those affected feel like a missing piece of a puzzle. I can support you in finding the missing piece and research lost or unknown relatives.
Family research requires passion and patience
Sometimes results can be found quickly, sometimes it takes a little longer. Especially when you have to research multiple archives and request documents from authorities. Every family has a unique story. I will support you in making this story visible – with professional and compassionate genealogical research. Together we will embark on an exciting journey through time to your ancestors.
Research areas and working methods
For successful genealogical research, I need your support.
Tell me what you already know about your ancestors. Then I can conduct further research. Helpful initial information includes:
-
First and last names of known ancestors
-
Date and place of birth
-
Marriage dates
-
Date and place of death
-
References to other family members or oral traditions of ancestry
-
Results of DNA tests in online portals
-
Historical photos and documents
Together, we'll discover your family history step by step. You tell me which line is especially important to you.
After each partial result, you decide whether I should continue the search. Let's get started!
Procedure and costs
The initial consultation is free and non-binding.
I'll check for you whether research is even possible and which sources are available. Only then do you decide whether you want to continue searching.
After the assessment, you will receive a clear cost estimate.
You choose how far the research should go:
– single document
– specific person
– complete family tree
The research can be paused at any time or resumed later.
About me
From an early age, I bombarded my family with questions about our history and ancestors. Often, they remained unanswered; sometimes, various legends arose—but little clarity. I wanted to know more, so I began my own search: in archives, family registers, historical journals, unearthed documents, photos, and letters, and by analyzing my DNA. It was exciting detective work, with each piece I found revealing a small piece of the puzzle of the past. Over the years, I researched and documented my family tree back to the early Middle Ages.
As a result, more and more people approached me and asked for help in researching their ancestors. This led me not only to discover my own family history, but also to uncover the roots of many others. I am continually fascinated by the energy that arises in people when new insights into their personal ancestry are revealed. The commissions increased, so I decided to turn my passion for genealogy into a freelance business.
Today, I accompany families on their personal journey through time and help uncover the hidden treasures of the past.
