Brigham Young University requests my update as an alumnus
Karl-Michael Sala Bio since BYU:
Short Version: I am “Opa” to 5 grandchildren & 4 adult children.
I’m now GermanGenealogist.com & a Professional German Genealogist
am SEO’d #1 across the board on Google, Yahoo & Bing for the keyword “German Genealogist.”
Since 1979 (while yet a BYU undergrad), for clients, patrons, family members, friends & acquaintances & at least one enemy, I have found:
* THOUSANDS of online & offline digital data, documents & images on THOUSANDS of ancestral family members for HUNDREDS of clients!
* Successfully traveled 7 times behind the former Iron Curtain to East Germany for clients’ German Genealogy research! This was back when it was no fun, controlled by a repressive regime of Socialists-Communists.
* Got strip-searched at Checkpoint Charlie in the former East Berlin.
* Researched in East Berlin with my eldest daughter to seriously crack a client’s case wide open.
In the 1st Quarter 2011, I have already set new German Genealogy research milestones to surpass milestones set in 2010!
* Total number of ancestral family members found, documented, imaged, preserved & uploaded to Box.net.
* Total number of villages researched for just ONE client.
* Average & total amounts of client research retainers received from the top two clients: ($13,000 per client)
* SMALLEST # of clients! (This is good news! This is what a genealogist wants.) And, therefore,
* The average & total amounts of time researching for just ONE client!

No that is not the 10th month, but rather a Dec–as in decade, decathlon, December! Sometimes it is written as Xbr.
With the shaded areas of this image, here you can better view the specific scanner shading we are able to add or take away when the image is too dark. It has been absolutely crucial in some cases to have had the ability to lighten or darken certain portions of certain images.
Gratitude be given to Microfilm ScanPro2000 devices made by e-image data. Two of these are found in the Mesa Regional Family History Center.
I believe we are approaching 1,000 images preserved for these numerous Bayern & Württemberg surnames & villages! We thank our Heavenly Father for the gifts of technology in these latter-days. We are continuing to turn the hearts of the children (we descendants) to our fore[families]! This, as a part of His plan to bring to pass the immortality & eternal life of man.

Good News & a European or German Genealogy Research Tip from a Professional German Genealogist!
Good News & a European or German Genealogy Research Tip from a Professional German Genealogist: If you lack the name of a specific place of origin of USA/Canada immigrant ancestors, where is the best place to do their European research? In the USA!
Aren’t you happy for this client? We & they are! They’d been trying to find this for many years!
Indeed, last night, 22 May 2011, I spoke with someone for the first time ever. I had some fun & found the names of the precise cities in which her ancestors–on both sides–had been born in Switzerland AND the city in which they last resided in Germany!
This, from the 1930 US Census & NY Passenger List, respectively. The Census usually does not provide a city name, but they did in this 1930 entry! In addition, it also gave cities of origin for THEIR parents!
Yes, the surname spelling had been seriously botched, but Lynell & I know just about all the tricks to finding people. After all, due to our 80+% success ratio, we were the very 1st 2 persons handpicked to begin the Paid Expert Ancestry.com Research Line (PEARL).
I later was THE primary German research consultant for Ancestry.de.
This research breakthrough just once again goes to show that just jumping the water to Europe is generally NOT the solution to a European genealogy case that lacks the name of a specific place.
Well, back to another client case, where we ARE deep into microfilmed European records, “drinking from the well,” as our now-deceased client, Roene Fischer, of Texas, called it. Similarly, we cracked her case in the naturalization records of Cook Co., IL (which she thought she already had; nope, there was another record which gave his exact date of birth, which is crucial for a Berlin’s numerous civil registration office(s). The civil birth record & then the parish registers in Berlin led us to what the client thought was “Sadske” which turned out to be Zaatzke, Brandenburg, Preussen (Prussia)!

The latest client, a former director, Deutsche Bank, recently wrote our 58th endearing endorsement on Linkedin.com! In 2008, my webmaster also encouraged that I register there.

Background: As Europe’s largest economy & 2nd most populous nation, Germany remains a key member of the continent’s economic, political & defense organizations. European power struggles immersed Germany in 2 devastating World Wars in the 1st half of the 20th century & left the country occupied by the victorious Allied powers of the US, UK, France & the Soviet Union in 1945. With the advent of the Cold War, 2 German states were formed in 1949: the western Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) & the eastern German Democratic Republic (GDR). The democratic FRG embedded itself in key Western economic & security organizations: the EC, which became the EU, & NATO, while the Communist GDR was on the front line of the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact. The decline of the USSR & the end of the Cold War allowed for German unification in 1990. Since then, Germany has expended considerable funds to bring Eastern productivity & wages up to Western standards. In January 1999, Germany & 10 other EU countries introduced a common European exchange currency, the euro.
Languages: German
Adminisitrative divisions: 13 states (Länder, singular – Land) & 3 free states* (Freistaaten, singular – Freistaat); Baden-Württemberg, Bayern*, Berlin, Brandenburg, Bremen, Hamburg, Hessen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Niedersachsen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Saarland, Sachsen*, Sachsen-Anhalt, Schleswig-Holstein, Thüringen*
Religions: Protestant 34%, Roman Catholic 34%, Muslim 3.7%, unaffiliated or other 28.3%
Ethnic groups: German 91.5%, Turkish 2.4%, other 6.1% (made up largely of Greek, Italian, Polish, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, Spanish)
Economic overview: Germany’s affluent & technologically powerful economy – the 5th largest in the world – has become one of the slowest growing economies in the euro zone. A quick turnaround is not in the offing in the foreseeable future; however, stronger growth this year has improved employment considerably. Growth in 2001-03 fell short of 1%, rising to 1.7% in 2004, falling back to 0.9% in 2005, & increasing to 2.2% in 2006. Unemployment fell to 7.1% in October 2006, based on the Internation Labor Organization’s measurement. The modernization & integration of the eastern German economy continues to be a costly long-term process, with annual transfers from west to east amounting to roughly $70 billion. Germany’s aging population, combined with high chronic unemployment, has pushed social security outlays to a level exceeding contributions from workers. Structural rigidities in the labor market – including strict regulations on laying off workers & the setting of wages on a national basis – & a lack of competition in the service sectors have made slow growth a chronic problem. Corporate restructuring & growing capital markets are setting the foundations that could help Germany meet the long-term challenges of European economic integration & globalization; however, the current government has failed to pass meaningful economic reform that would improve growth prospects. Higher government revenues from the cyclical upturn in 2006 reduced Germany’s budget deficit to within the EU’s 3% debt limit.
