Most of the case crackage was pro bono.  Are you next for some European research breakthroughs?  These ancestral research cases were from just about every country of Europe in which German or other Euro-ancestors lived! From Alsace-Lorraine (Elsass-Lothringen) to Augsburg to Austria to Australia & back to Austerlitz!

Not a big deal, you say?  Then why could NObody find this in the last decade?  This is just one of numerous German Genealogy cases we cracked this week!

If you do not find the ancestor in a crucial census, your research could be stalled forever.  Thus, our having found George JANSON & Mary & Margaret, daughter, in the 1860 Census of Philadelphia was crucial for our client, Jo Janson Wills, of NJ.

It gave heretofore UNKNOWN data, e.g. his birthplace as Bavaria (Bayern), which is the southern German state that holds such places as München (Munich).

Of course, his name in Germany was NOT Johnson, per se.  The surname had obviously been Americanized by either the census enumerator or a member of the ancestral family!

Our task now will be to ascertain the place of origin within Bayern!   As is usual for us, we await the client’s next retainer.

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)!

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
