Another German city of origin ascertained via USA research! It was far from the client’s proposed Bayern (Bavaria)!

Comments Off on Another German city of origin ascertained via USA research! It was far from the client’s proposed Bayern (Bavaria)!

JohnK, GREAT NEWS! We’ve a document showing the city in which your immigrant ancestor & his parents were born! Not in Bayern! Our offer is $1,000. We’ve several documents to be posted on BoxDOTnet

Lynell & I pride ourselves in saving our clients thousands of $ WHILE getting them what they seek! How many years have you now been trying to get this?

Indeed, your having chased around in Bayern was not the correct methodology for BIERSOLL research.

You see, the contruction of a building does NOT begin with the roof, not the siding, nor even the framing. It begins with the foundation ! Even then, many clients are unaware of the cracks that we find in their foundations. We repair the flaws even when they object. If they object too much, we cease our service contract with them.

This former Minuteman Missile Communications Maintenance Tech & USAFR Intelligence Officer is pleased to have served you. Thank you also for your service to our country & the world.

Karl-Michael Sala Feeback to those we see who are getting websites that are not their own.

I’m a German Genealogist whose website is Search-Engine Optimized (SEO’d ) #1 for the desired keyword “German Genealogist” for about 2 years. This, because I use my webmaster. VistaPrint, Weebly, et al. might be a good training ground, but it will ultimately not do SEO very well. *I assume his sage counsel is still good, but my webmaster (son-in-law) says to get a real website that has nobody else’s name as a part of it. Make sure it IS a .com

Comments Off on June 2011: TWO (2) Polish ancestry, genealogy & family history cases cracked for 1 client!

Jill Holcomb (client)
Jill hired you as a Family History/Genealogist Research in 2011

Top qualities: Personable, Expert, High Integrity

“Karl-Michael is a highly knowledgeable, skilled researcher. His background and understanding of the research process has led him to find ancestors we didn’t know existed. An earlier professional genealogist from the 70’s missed family members on both our patriarchal and matriarchal lines. Because of the language barrier, the complexity of Poland’s history and the quality of the microfilm, we had been unable to decipher information for the last 30 years. What a thrill to find family members in Poland that no one else could find! I am pleased to pass on the great ‘Find’ that Karl-Michael has been in helping us discover our roots in Poland and Germany.” July 5, 2011

Karl-Michael Sala

1972: Guess who played bass & sang high harmony vocals in a soul music band with Tim Russ, the black Vulcan on Star Trek Voyager?

Guess whom Tim, his siblings, Mike & Angie Russ, asked to research & find their pre-Emancipation ancestor, Itasca “Tasker” Russ? Right–Karl-Michael Sala! Yes, I found the RUSS ancestry in all USA Census records & other USA resources.

Both Tim & Mike wrote me endearing endorsements on Linkedin.com.Tim Russ (client)
Tim hired you as a Genealogist in 2007

Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity

“I have known Karl since I was in high-school with him. I recently got a very detailed ancestry profile for my parents from him. I was very happy with his results, and would recommend him in a heartbeat. Karl also managed to organize and make contacts for our high-school reunion, which was quite tricky because we went to high-school in Izmir Turkey! Tim Russ” December 10, 2009

My website has been SEO’d (Search Engine Optimized for about 2 years now. My biggest clients found ME via the search terms “German Genealogist.” So, I am very grateful today for the services of Paul Johnson, my webmaster, shown here with Karl-Michael Sala. Here you can see my left-side facial palsy, a remnant of a 1995 Near-death Experience. email Paul: paj@webondb.com

With this SEO position, it has enable me to serve, among many clients, a client for whom we have researched, accessed, found & digitized 1,000+ digital images from both Evangelical Lutheran & Catholic parish registers in Baden, Bayern & Württemberg! We have set many new milestones.

Another Milestone? And just since June 2011, for 3 other clients, we have cracked 4 Poland Genealogy research cases! Janetzki, Krause, Kindel & Spilizewski!

One of those clients served as a Military Policeman at Rothwesten, at the same time as my father was a radio maintenance technician–abt. 1950-52. They did not know each other, but the man & I, of course, hit it off quite well. So, here I am, an offspring of another USAF member at the very same USAF base, who pro-created me in Germany, now doing this MP’s East Europe genealogy! How interesting.

Another client was a former classmate from Walter E. Stebbins High School in Dayton, Ohio. He connected with me on Facebook.

On YouTube.com, my 7-8 videos also rule the search terms “German Genealogy” & “GermanGenealogist” & “German Genealogist.”

My next goal is to get SEO’d to #1 for the search term “German Genealogy.” Lots of competition on that keyword.

Is Poland genealogy research German Genealogy research? Kowel, Poland is probably Kowal, Poland!

Bonnie Balogh Rosado This must bring you tons of joy to bless people like this, Mike! Monday at 4:38am ·

Karl-Michael Sala Blessing thousands of the Living and the Deceased. I am accountable to them all. And, they are all counting on Lynell & me to find ’em in historical images.

“Karl! Help me find my ancestors–before I become one!”

Our client in this case is a commercial pilot who says his Poland immigrant ancestor came from “Kowel”. No such place; therefore, we say Kowal.

1909 NY Passenger listing for the target ancestor says he came from Dabrowka, which is probably Dąbrówka, abt 5 km to the south of Kowal, Poland. I’m buyin’ it. How about you? Yes, I realize it “needs more research.” If you click on the map, it will go to another website, but clicking on the NY Passenger Listing should keep you here.

RE: The spelling of Dabrowka (or any other place, for that matter!): If you’re a customs agent processing hundreds, if not thousands of immigrants, if an immigrant says to you: ” Dąbrówka [dɔmˈbrufka],” would you care whether Dąbrówka is correctly spelled? Not only “no” but “heck, no!” Out of the numerous Dąbrówka places in Europe, would you care which one it was & will you write down the name of the count(r)y or district for Dąbrówka (or any other place, for that matter?) Also, a resounding “no.” So, we’ll forgive them all & press on with our hypothesis that Jan is from the Dąbrówka just a few kilometers south of Kowal. Click on image to view in large format!

SteamShip Zeeland; on 27 February 1909 departed Antwerp, Belgium; traveling without others by the same name, but someone from the same village was a few lines above him. Arrived 9 March 1909 in NY. Note that Jan (pronounced Yawn] was on his way to Cincinnati [area]! Father’s name appears to be Franisek Spilizewski. We are proud to report that all these data, the entire document & image are heretofore unknown, NEW DATA, DOCUMENTS & IMAGES for the client!

Posted on Facebook: Just cracked another case for Poland: I found that the target ancestor originated from a little village just south of Kowal (not Kowel), Poland by the name of Dabrowka. This, for Jan Spilizewski, a client’s matriarchal grandfather! 1909 Feb 27 departed Antwerp on the SS Zeeland; arrived NY 9 Mar 1909! Father looks like Franisek… oh, boy…

Yet another new milestone set! One client was stationed 1950-52 in Rothwesten, Germany where my father worked at the 601st AirCraft & Warning squadron. The former USAF security policeman, now in Florida, found me using the keyword “German Genealogist.” For him, I already have a 38-page report in draft, replete with historical ancestral images he has never seen. Highlight: THE place of origin given on a Hamburg Passenger List!

The 2nd one is a physical health trainer in the NY area. He found me on XING about a year ago, but is just now getting serious because he is planning a trip to Hannover, Germany. Not soon enough, my friend. You should have hired me last year in preparation for an August trip to Germany.

The 3rd new client is a fellow classmate from my 1st high school: Stebbins in Dayton, Ohio. He connected with me on FaceBook, where Susanne Peterson Haring likes this.
