Note that the locations in yellow are NOT Prussia! And one area deep within Baden-Wuerttemberg WAS a piece of Prussia/Preussen!

An interesting coincidence happened at the Mesa Family History Library the other day.  I was sitting next to a gentleman who was very graciously helping me utilize a microfilm viewing machine.  I hadn’t been to the library in some time, and the microfilm machines I had previously used had been replaced with a newer and more sophisticated model.  Over the next couple of hours this gentleman showed me several time saving methods to conduct my research.  Eventually we chatted about our areas of genealogical interest, and I was startled to learn that he too was conducting research in Germany, and more specifically in East Prussia.  Imagine my surprise when I found out that he had been the researcher, Karl-Michael Sala, I had hired in 1988 to conduct research on my East Prussian family tree.  Wow, talk about a small world.  I had never met Karl in person, as he lived at that time in another state.  All of our correspondence had been by mail, as there was no internet and no e-mail to speak of at the time.  So, twenty four years later, I’m still actively pursuing that same family tree that Karl helped me initiate.  Looking back at my records I realized that it was Karl that had identified my 3 times great paternal-grandfather, established the Kreis (County/Region) my paternal family came from, and even the towns and villages where various family members had resided.  Karl provided detailed maps of those areas, even though East Prussia no longer exists.  That was very exciting, actually identifying the homeland of my family.  Utilizing census and naturalization records he then determined when my family arrived in the United States, despite some significant misspellings of the family name, and utilizing City Directories pinpointed their exact location in Detroit.  I have subsequently utilized the information that Karl developed to greatly expand my family tree.  More important, I mimicked many of the research techniques to which he introduced me, and have had a wonderful time pursuing my genealogy avocation.

I have been researching my Great Grandfather since 2004. All I had were stories that my father would tell me as a young girl. I wasn’t sure that his name was even correct. Endless disappointments and countless times of reviewing material over and over, being told that I wasn’t a part of any family with what I thought was a unique name was so disappointing. I am a retired person with out the necessary funds to hire a professional genealogist. I set goals and could not meet. I met Karl-Michael and in less than a few hours he provided what information I had ask him for. I am overwhelmed with gratitude to him. Thanks to Karl, I am able to add to the finality of my tree. Karl, you are an honest man with heart.

  • Karl-Michael Sala My content will show absolutely NO malicious intent. However, Mellissa Finch, empathy for & forgiveness of your malicious, non-Christian intent & actions will be difficult. I shall consult with my legal eagles to see if your content is considered libel…See More
  • Melissa Finch There is no libel, it is a simple request for you to delete my name and my tree from a discussion I was no part of that you brought my name into. It is simply a transcript of my requests (that you failed to ok to post on linkedin) to remove my name and my tree’s name from your discussion and your linkedin responses (that you did ok to post) . There is nothing but malice in your refusal to remove my name and tree and I want a record of it all online. You refused to remove my name and mocked me at the same time and I am just posting it all for the genealogical world to see.
  • Karl-Michael Sala So, if you truly want your name omitted, I recommend you delete your malicious rumblings & tumblings. Your logic fails & is counter-productive.
  •  Melissa Finch You need to delete my name and tree it is that simple. I have no reason not to show the world how rude you were in each of your responses. There are no ramblings. Each of my statemebnt ask you to remve my name and tree that you posted. I was not involved in this discussion 

    I know none of the people involved 
    I do not know this Roberta Baum 
    Willhelm Johan Guilzon is NOT an ancestor of mine 
    YOU brought my name and my tree into this 
    I have no interest in this thread. You have the ability to delete YOUR message that brought my name and my tree into this. You refused to do so.

    Karl-Michael Sala Please consult with your attorney. He will tell you to give it up, for you have no case. Need I cite case law? No, you research it yourself, naysayer. I repeat: Your name was on a tree at Ancestry.com that had the patron’s target ancestor mentioned in it. Your tree is not public, but ACOM does reveal that the name exists in your tree. Is the tree now deleted? If so, you would again be shooting yourself in the foot.
  • Melissa Finch There is nothing for me to worry about. I am just posting your malicious words. I do not see the Christian ways in your behavior, but I will not judge I will just publicize your awful responses to my polite requests. No worries. Thanks
