“I am pleased to say that Karl Sala very quickly was able to find that my family members arrived in the New Orleans Port of entry rather than the Galveston entry as I had been searching. I had been having no success and he solved that problem for me immediately. He has also shared information with me on Ancestry.com and placed the New Orleans Passenger List on Box.Net so that all of the family and other interested individuals can also share this information which I think is truly great. He goes the extra mile to try to please you. Definitely give him a try, you will be pleased, as I am. He and his wife are so knowledgable in so many areas, whatever your need might be, please check out their bios first and you will be truly amazed of all the services he and his wife Lynell can offer you.” April 7, 2011 [Bio? http://www.Linkedin.com/in/GermanGenealogist]
Dear Joe & his fellow LAU descendants!
We are elated to report that the LAU Family History Mystery has been lifted & unveiled! Further, the LAU case was cracked today by our having searched the excellent 2ndary source known as Family Registers. Altenburg is a small village Catholic parochially associated with Gestratz, Bayern (Bavaria)!
After a short, but sweet emotional & spiritual release, I compose myself prior to composing this email. As I have hinted or mentioned, we believe your ancestral family members seriously want to be found. They, probably like you & me, wish to be appreciated & that their years of sacrifice are not in vain.
The last book (Malachi) & chapter of the Old Testament talks about turning the hearts of the children to their [fore]fathers. You see, most of our forefathers’ hearts are already turned toward ours/us. Whether you believe this or not is irrelevant. If this belief &/or reality helps Them & us to do better work for you, then so be it. This is not a “ghostly” thing, but rather a loving thing.
But, first, THANKS to you & one of your relatives! Even though you were unaware of just how it connected, the poor photograph you emailed us was of the gravestone of one Martin Lau, born in what appeared us to be 1868 (indeed, yes it was!), relationship unknown. The names of the parents “von [this means of or from & is not a part of the name] Altenburg” listed at the base of the gravestone are indeed the parents of Martin & your ancestor! The family would not have this photograph just for grins, so we hypothesized Martin very likely could be an older brother to your ancestor, i.e. one who did not emigrate to the USA.
All birthdates for Johann Baptist Lau’s siblings & parents (the ones listed at the base of Martin’s gravestone), were provided.
This photograph & our analysis, along with detailed initial geographical research are indeed the keys to our having cracked this case.
We had to ascertain the precise Altenburg of several, so we selected the one geographically closest to the family-known town of Isny, where he was NOT found. Fortunately, the Catholic parish registers for Isny, Gestratz & more are on microfilm & available to us. Only the Gestratz, et al. surrounding parochially-associated villages’ Family Registers have come in so far, but we anticipate the arrival of the other primary source microfilm for actual births, marriages & deaths “any day now.”
Johann Baptist Lau, born 3 April 1870 to Franz Joseph LAU & Maria Antonia KOLB (from a nearby village: Bauschwanden, now part of Röthenbach/Allgäu, Bayern. It was of sufficient size to have its own Catholic parish registers. With your email authorization, we shall order these microfilms also.

GermanGenealogist.com = Karl-Michael Sala karlmsala@msn.com lives in Gilbert, Arizona. I happily attended the American High School in Izmir, Turkey (ancient, biblical Smyrna).
My mother was a native German from Kassel, Hessen. 1976-77, I learned German as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Ruhr Area of Germany.
As a sophomore in Dayton, Ohio, I competitively performed as the #1 man on the Olympic-sized trampoline. I placed 9th in the Regional Gymnastics Meet. The #2 man on the trampoline offered me a place to stay for 2 years, but I opted instead to join my family in Izmir, Turkey.
Now I do double-twisting research back-flips for clients{;>) in online & offline USA, immigration & Euro-German records of multiple European countries. We grant a generous 50% discount to anyone interested.
We have set personal bests in 2010 & now for even the 1st Quarter of 2011. Since 1979: We have found thousands of international data, documents & images for thousands of ancestral family members for hundreds of global clients.
I have 30+ years & THOUSANDS of ancestral family members found for HUNDREDS of clients, but alas, I still seek other 3rd-parties to verify my stunning works. It is yet another arrow in my quiver of Exceptional Expert Standards:
“By percentages, it’s been harder to become an Expert on JustAnswer than it’s been to get into Harvard. All Experts have to pass a rigorous application and credentials-verification process. It’s our way of helping guarantee that you’ll be 100% satisfied with your [German Genealogy Research] answer.”

Going back on the Engelhardt lineage in Wuerttemberg, “Germany,” i.e., spreading off to other matriarchal surnames who married into the family, we are approaching now 10 distinct & separate villages of origin. 100+ new ancestral family members now assembled in digital format & posted online. Awesome.

GermanGenealogist’s Review … Gilbert, AZ
“Former Ancestry.com #1 top researcher sounds off !” 
daily computer user, a researcher, curious by nature, Practical, into the web, a busy person, German Genealogist, German Genealogy, Deutscher Ahnenforscher
Ancestry.com Pros: Vast database of resources, Premier genealogy website, Free trial period, very resourceful, Always adding information, German Genealogist, German Genealogy
Ancestry.com Cons: requires lots of Patience, Requires time and dedication, Can’t just print your tree, Not for the dilitante, Only supported by Internet Explorer, Terrible customer service, no German Genealogist
Ancestry.com — I got my money’s worth out of Ancestry.com the very 1st day I used it–at its inception, long before they had billions of records! I am stunned with what they still give away for free! As a former Ancestry.com telephone research representative, we were all authorized to cancel customers’ subscriptions–even after their trial period had expired! But prior to cancellation, I was usually able to help them find what they were seeking–or get them on the right path.
If you ever feel shorted by Ancestry.com, Ancestry.com.au, Ancestry.co.uk or Ancestry.de, we are proud to make everyone a generous offer:
Lynell & Karl-Michael Sala are the very 1st 2 persons hand-picked in 2006 by Ancestry.com for the short-lived–but highly successful–Paid Expert Ancestry Research Line. Why? Because we would usually find data, documents or images for international subscribers, i.e., people just like you, who could not find anything.
When that effective team was dissolved (many tears), Karl was the primary German Genealogy research consultant for Ancestry.de! He also was crucial in helping with Australia, Canada, UK & Europe!
Chance of success? Either on Ancestry.com or elsewhere online: Oh, about 80%.

How about a 50% discount on some online research? We are now GermanGenealogist.com & yes, we do much more than German. No credit card necessary. Your personal cheque is just fine.
Catch? Pay in advance, get twice as much & you have to tell the online world what we found for you!{;>)
Read 53+ endearing endorsements on Linkedin.com. Numerous are from Ancestry.com close colleagues & EVERY ONE of my past managers!
Who’s #54? You, that’s who!
Wow. When it rains, it pours. For the sakes of well-paying clients, we’re having to turn down projects we’d normally accept. For a South African business owner client who wishes to obtain a German Passport
, we DHL Expressed a package of 4 huge German Genealogy research case projects.
And for the Deutsche Bank director, we are finding numerous ancestral family members in the parish records of 4 different villages in what is known today as Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany.
There are more big cases on the stove. This includes the Founder/Publisher of a magazine that caters to the wealthiest people in the nation: GENTRY.
Sloane Citron is related to the Citroen French auto magnate. Naturally, Sloane would like for us to do an ad. This advertising arrangement could make it a huge case for us. He read my online review of Ancestry.com & liked what he read. 
Yes, these clients needed to be communicated with, but we give the base credit for the success to our webmaster. Our GermanGenealogist.com website has been Search Engine Optimized since 2008. If you’d also like to be SEO’d, email paj@webondb.
We are humbly proud to be experiencing more German Genealogy research cases accompanied by success than any previous year!
