Here’s an oft-repeated situation: If you cannot make out the name of the place, you’re stuck. In my case “unemployed.”  With a bit of technology & the Mecklenburg gazetteer we formulated reasonable hypotheses to crack Vickie Wagner‘s case. Broderstorf!

We have now done this about 10 times for our biggest client ever–a former DeutscheBank director–& his ancestors ! That has translated into 1,000+ images for his ancestral family members in scores of parishes (for which there are parish registers on microfilm) in Württemberg & Bayern (Bavaria)!

Bill Recommends
Karl-Michael SALA, German Genealogist since 1979!
GERMAN GENEALOGIST (Ancestry & Family History Research for Germany & Prussia) at Accredited Genealogist (German)

Karl’s expertise is unparallelled when it comes to genealogy research. You may wonder why you would pay someone to do research for you especially if you enjoy doing the research which is why you have an interest in genealogy. Well, time is money, and sometimes it just doesn’t make sense to stall at a given point and time. Karl can accomplish in hours what may take days or even weeks to accomplish. He also has an attitude that he never gives the customer enough so he usually does twice the work than what they bargained for. Give him a project and not only will you agree, you’ll be back as his efficiency in research is well worth the small investment. May 8, 2012

Bill Werkheiser (President at Genealogy Book Printing ) was a consultant or contractor to Karl-Michael at Accredited Genealogist (German).

Karl-Michael SALA, German Genealogist since 1979!  International German Genealogist at GermanGenealogist.com

Every time I have had the pleasure of working with or around Karl Sala in his capacity of an expert genealogist, I am always impressed with his incredibly detailed knowledge and if he doesn’t know something he will tell you but then will dig and dig in research to find the answer – or more importantly, the long lost relative. In less formal settings I have found him to also warm, amicable and honest. I give him my strongest recommendation as a genealogical specialist. April 25, 2012

Anglo-Celtic Connections: British & German genealogy development during the Nazi Period (1933-1945)

British and German genealogy development

A major article by Nicholas J. Fogg in the most recent, March 2012, issue of Genealogists’ Magazine “German Genealogy During the Nazi Period (1933-1945)” includes two paragraphs which compare the development of genealogy in Germany and the UK in the period from the late 19th century to the present day.

In the author’s opinion both countries were on an approximately equal footing leading up to the First World War with the UK seeing the publication of an impressive number of transcribed parish registers by Phillimore and Co (set up in 1897) and parish registers societies. The Society of Genealogists was founded in 1911. He then sees “a curious lull” in Britain between the wars. By contrast Germany saw a post-WW1 explosion of regionally based genealogical societies. this was reinforced by the growing belief in eugenics and the desirability or fulfilling the Nazi ancestral proof requirement. (There’s much more detail on this in the article.)

The author notes the start of microfilming of parish registers shortly before WWII but notes the resurgence of genealogy in the UK as dating from the 1960s onward as a result of the depositing of the vast majority of parish registers in the county record offices and the establishment of various local family history societies beginning with the Birmingham and Midland Society of Genealogy and Heraldry in 1963. Also identified as significant are the establishment of the Federation of Family History Societies in 1974 and the Professional Association of Genealogists and Record Agents (subsequently AGRA) in 1969.

Fogg concludes that “Although the Germans were great pioneers in the organizing of their hobby, the British have ultimately perhaps been better at exploiting the actual genealogical records, in spite of the relative paucity of the information provided in them.”

The Tech of German Genealogy

I am now http://www.GermanGenealogist.com.

I am not only a charter & continuing member of the subscription website, Ancestry.com–one of the pioneers in online genealogy research–but also a former key research employee who knew the search engines along with the tech of how to do the research for clients, patrons, family members & friends.

So much so, that I was hand-picked to initialize the Paid Expert Ancestry Research Line (PEARL; my selected name won the contest, but it was never officially adopted).  Who was 2nd?  My wife, Lynell Rae Pierce Sala!

When that was tearfully disbanded, I served as the primary European research consultant for Ancestry.de[utschland].  I fielded the majority of the research-oriented calls & emails from native Europeans from various European countries.  When that, too, was disbanded, Lynell & I opted to launch GermanGenealogist.com.  It has been the best thing we ever did!

The Tech of German Genealogy?  Each case is its own!

But on Easter Sunday, for a fellow church ward member, Robin Russell, I was elated & she waxed emotional. For, I found (in just 10 minutes) data, documents & images online for three Hungarian ancestors! Schein, Schein & Schein!
