German Genealogy 101? Before you contract an expert German Genealogist…

Written by Karl-Michael Sala

160+ online Linkedin.com Endearing Endorsements, Commendations & Kudos from coaches, colleagues & clients for this gifted & talented researcher--& that's just since July 2008! & that's just from folks who happen to be on Linkedin! http://www.Linkedin.com/in/germangenealogist

Karl has received hundreds more offline client letters of gratitude & commendation since 1979. This, due to Karl's having found ancestral data, often within MINUTES, that other researchers either did not, could not or would not find.

Since 1979, THOUSANDS of data, documents & images for THOUSANDS of ancestral family members for HUNDREDS of clients' ancestral family members have been found by The German Genealogist!

After THOUSANDS of hours of German Genealogy research, in 1984, Karl-Michael Sala was accredited as a German Genealogist by the Family History Library of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After more than a decade of absolutely stunning successes for his clients, Karl was run into by a drunk pick-up truck driver. This 1995 near-death experience ultimately caused that his accreditation was involuntarily pulled. This was to protect the name of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. However, since '95, along with Karl's recovery, Karl has had more success than ever for clients, patrons, himself & his living family members!

Since 1980, Karl has traveled 7 times behind the former Iron Curtain to East Germany to successfully exhaust hundreds of parish registers of the target ancestral family members.

Karl is a former USAFR Intelligence Officer who earned a Deserving Airman Commission while he had been serving as an Intelligence Operations Specialist & Linguist (German), Interrogator, Debriefer (non-commissioned officer at that time)

Karl is the very 1st person hand-picked for the Paid Expert Ancestry Research Line at Ancestry.com. His wife, Lynell Sala was the 2nd person selected for their short-lived, but highly successful Paid Expert Research Team!

When that project was abandoned, because of his language & research skills, Karl was promoted to taking the majority of research-oriented emails & phone calls from Europe for Ancestry.de, the Deutschland, i.e. Germany, version of Ancestry.com!

As the primary European ancestral genealogy & family history research consultant, Karl served Europeans in their native German language. This further fulfills blessings he had been given earlier in his life.

On the Ancestry.com International Team, Karl served as a consultant for Australia, Austria, Great Britain & mainland Europe! He cracked & solved many cases in those diverse locations.

For their clients, Karl & Lynell have found data & documents on thousands of living & deceased persons. The German Genealogist has solved cases that others said "can't be done!"

Just since Memorial Day 2010, Lynell & Karl-Michael Sala have cracked 6 cases in 6 locations! Germany (4), Lithuania (Littau, i.e East Prussia or Ostpreussen), Poland (5) (Posen or Poznan), Atlantic Ocean & the USA.

Indeed, Karl-Michael Sala is a Master German Genealogist!

Karl-Michael Sala Let’s see. Let’s do what a lot of folks try to do &/or have me do: Karl, now I’ve done EVERYTHING (no, they haven’t) in USA records, so, just jump across to Germany (or any one of numerous other modern-day European countries whence Germans migrated) & find my Johann Schmidt, born I don’t know when, but SOMEWHERE in Prussia or maybe Alsace-Lorraine or even Austria. My cousin thinks it is Russia. The target immigrant ancestor immigrated all by himself from Hamburg (no, it was Bremen). I’d appreciate any help you can give me…
First of all, what is right with this query? How can it be improved? What do you think? “Karl, I have the foundation dug, the footings sealed in place, ’tis poured, the framing is done & I want you to now take over my work & attach the roof! I hear you attach a lot of roofs. That’s all I want. Is that too much to ask?” Yes, it is.
Off my soapbox now: Round up EVERYTHING from the USA or other country whence the emigrant migrated. Get the passenger list(s), both arrival & departure, if it exists… Query all relatives & OFFER THEM MASSAGE, MILK or MONEY to round up what data, documents & images they have. Warning: If I find what you seek, you owe me a cheeseburger{:>)

Where is Prussia or Preussen? In the above image only, it is just the blue parts.

The German Empire. Missing is Alsace-Lorraine in the far Southwest. Also known as Elsass-Lothringen, now in France.
