October 7, 2021, Kristy Dreyer was Karl-Michael Sala’s client.
“I recently started trying to research my family tree and was worried I had hit a hard dead end. A county museum’s written history, told by my great-grandmother, claimed her family came from a place in Germany no one heard of- -Zeszeo. [Nor was the location found in any historical gazetteer.] She had numerous last names attached to her, and I didn’t expect anyone to be able to track down who her parents were.
Karl-Michael Sala aka The German Genealogist since 1979! was able to crack the case: Zeszeo was in fact referring to Zierzow, and he even found a baptismal record that originally misspelled the last name, with the correct name in the margins. It truly took a significant chunk of detective work to solve the mystery, and I am so grateful he was able to figure so much out from just a few inaccurate and contradicting clues. Much appreciated!”

Yet another German Genealogy research case is cracked! This time the MANZ case: conceived, strategized & researched alone by Lynell Pierce Sala, our Research Director!

Coming in “the front door,” its solution was NOT apparent. But by her trying the side-door & that tiny basement window–so to speak–Lynell Pierce Sala solved this MANZ case! Having used an online gazetteer for Saxony (Sachsen), Prussia (Preussen), Lynell Pierce Sala, our Research Director, ascertained the Catholic parish for Flessau. Not that she was looking for Catholics, but rather the Evangelical Lutheran Reformed Church (Evangelische Reformierte Kirche) records. But because the Catholic records for Flessau were listed to be in Stendal, Sachsen, Preussen (Prussia), Lynell hypothesized that Flessau’s Lutheran Reformed church members may have been a part of Stendal’s parish. Indeed. You see, there is no gazetteer for the Reformed Records, but rather just the Evangelical Lutheran parishes. <FastForward>

BINGO! There was the target ancestor, having been born on the exact day the client thought! Lynell Pierce Sala single-handedly cracked the MANZ case for our South African client. The client has been emailed & has been requested to send another retainer to continue that research in the available microfilms–& that’s in addition to continuing on-site research in Germany on a few of his other lineages. 10/29/2010 update: Large retainer wire transfer is on the way!

Lynell would not post this, but I will. I am so proud of our Lynie! She is a crucial link in our Team at www.GermanGenealogist.com

MAP: Germans in Eastern Europe5.png

Comments Off on MAP: Germans in Eastern Europe5.png

FamilySearch Centers From FamilySearch Wiki via “Karl Sala” via probably G David Dilts of the FHL of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City &/or Ann Roach, a private German Genealogist who has–just like me–volunteered many hours at the FHL in Salt Lake City & in FHCs other states & countries. This, to help patrons with their German-American Genealogy & Euro-German Genealogy & global German Genealogy in other worldwide countries research.

There were certainly several East European areas where Germans were residing which are not shown on this map. E.g. many German Lutherans in Lithuania (Littau). There, Lynell & Karl-Michael Sala skillfully & massively researched the difficult old German handwriting & German Genealogy of SCHWELLNUS (SZWELNUS), et al. for a client who resides in South Africa. However, this demographic map is a good start.

Specific–albeit limited–Village Censuses of Germans from Russia forthcoming!

Comments Off on Specific–albeit limited–Village Censuses of Germans from Russia forthcoming!

For the people of the Deutsches Reich (German Empire), many emigrated also to Russia! Here is just a PARTIAL map of an area whence thousands of Germans migrated.

For German Genealogy Research, we now have access to the 2ndary (tertiary?) typescript .pdf & .txt source, 1857 Census of Eckheim, Samara, Russia. It is now added to our 24/7 online Box.net account. Several more should be forthcoming. These are Censuses of predominantly Germans from Russia. They’ll be in typescript format, showing the last name in both German & in Cyrillic lettering. If you would like access to that or have us research therein or elsewhere in Europe for you, please call; then email your specific request. Mail your data, documents & images, along with your $100 – $10,000 personal check or money order to:

Hello [K]arl, Yes, a small banner ad of your logo would be best on my sites links section.

If you ever need any historical etching reproductions of German castles or other Euro countries, let me know. I have 17 German castles in stock:

— Cotrone Castle
— Ehrenfels Castle
— Falkenstein Castle *
— Heidelberg Castle *
— Hohenaschau Castle
— Imperial Castle
— Marksburg Castle
— Mouse Tower
— Neuschwanstein Castle
— Pfalz Castle
— Rüdesheim Castle
— Schwaneck Castle
— Stolzenfels Castle *
— Trifels Castle
— Unnoth Castle
— Welfen Castle
— Zwinger Castle

* multiple views of that castle. I know there are many other German castles I still need to collect. Over 500 Euro castles in total. Most listed on my page: http://www.castlecolors.com/contact-castle-etchings.htm

All my original scans are very high res and scale up into large posters nicely. We sell watercolor paintings of many castles too. My dream is to visit Germany and paint many of these castles on location. Have you visited many of these castles?

Nice to chat. Thanks. Kimberley www.CastleColors.com

Hi Cimberley{;>) I am Karl; not Carl (altho’ the check cashes either way). No, I was always concentrated & focused on cracking client German Genealogy research cases. I like, of course, the castles in Kassel, Hessen, Germany: The Herkules & the Loewenburg.

GermanGenealogist.com has accepted a German Genealogy research case for a client from South Africa who wishes to establish dual citizenship.

Comments Off on GermanGenealogist.com has accepted a German Genealogy research case for a client from South Africa who wishes to establish dual citizenship.

The South Africa to Germany case is multi-faceted, multi-location, fascinating & challenging. We’ve already found one matriarch having departed Hamburg on the Hamburg Passenger Lists.

The huge South Africa back to Germany research case will require research off-site & on-site in various locations in Germany. Since 1979, over the last 3 decades, we’ve found THOUSANDS of data, documents & images on THOUSANDS of ancestral family members for HUNDREDS of clients! Since 1979, we’ve successfully research on-site, in-country in Germany & the Czech Republic 10+ times!

Therefore, Lynell & I are accepting only 1-3 more clients (depending on retainer size) for the upcoming research trip. Please make your inquiry-offer TODAY! Email karlmsala@msn.com & CALL Karl about your family history research case & your firm financial commitment: 1-602-503-0775 = 1-888-456-7252 (both 24-hr #s)
Retainers starting at $4,000 & up only. $1,000/day includes ALL costs & fees for two people working 12-16-hour days! If that is too pricey for you, then what used items or services have you to barter, sell or trade? You go & price air fare, auto rental & lodging expenses alone.

1+1>2? Yes, when we are in-country, you’ll have two caring researchers. We serve as built-in advisors, researchers & quality controllers for each other. Lynell challenges my hypotheses & makes me come up with more evidence & proof for my conclusions, methods or strategies. Any unused funds will be gladly applied to other international ancestry, genealogy & family history research.

To have received the ability to serve this big client, we offer gratitude & devotion to our webmaster, Paul A Johnson. In return, we get to care for, play with & watch his children, our grandchildren!

Landeskirchlichen Archivs Kassel, Hessen, Germany (Deutschland)
Time is short. Are you finally ready for some serious USA, German-American, immigration or Euro-German, Prussian ancestral, genealogical, or family historical research? Landeskirchliches Archiv Kassel mailed us 2 CD-ROMs of my own German genealogy research we did over a year ago! Now, we have both hard copies & digital images of hundreds of ancestral entries of births, confirmations, marriages & deaths. These digital images are priceless because we can manipulate, edit, enlarge & enhance, share, email, post to websites, etc. This we also do for our clients?

Recommendations for International German Genealogist at GermanGenealogist.com

Grant Sommerfeld (client)
Grant hired you as a Genealogical Research in 1996 {1}
Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, High Integrity

“”Over a decade ago, I had the pleasure of hiring & working with Karl-Michael Sala, Accredited Genealogist (German), when I hit my first roadblock in my “Germans from Russia” genealogical research. I found his North American and European research, as well as his follow-up telephone & mail support to be excellent. Karl-Michael Sala, now a/k/a GermanGenealogist.com, helped get me onto the right track and my research has continued. I am now about to begin another phase of work with this professional and committed genealogist. Why? Because I found him by having done a search of “Prussian Genealogist.” It is his modus operandi to communicate well and spend extra time to obtain some good digital data, documents and images for his clients.”
