Endorsement for Family History Research Done By Karl-Michael Sala, Ancestral Germanic Genealogist since 1979! GermanGenealogist.com since 2008!

by Karl Schipper, a Detroit auto engineer, who is a stickler for details

Having hired Karl-Michael Sala saved me dollars, efforts, frustration & research time! During 2007-2008, Karl and his wife, Lynell, meticulously researched my ancestral family members from several villages in and around Kreis Rastenburg in Ostpreussen (East Prussia), 1884 –> 1741.

I provided Karl the name of the ancestral village (Ploetnick) and sufficient data to provide the foundation of the family tree. Karl found them not only in Plötnick, but going back in time, he also ascertained and researched a few other nearby parishes or origin for other ancestral family members!

Karl is adamant about having a firm foundation upon which to work. This is because he has often found cracks or flaws in the research already done by the client. A firm foundation significantly reduces the risk of researching the wrong family, saving time and money.

The ability to obtain records from East Prussia is usually problematic, for many parish registers & churches of Prussia were destroyed during World Wars 1 and 2. In my case, Karl was able to locate microfilmed records right here in the USA for the target European locations. A cost-saving service Karl provides is to verify that records exist and that the family name is truly in the records–before he takes on the project!

Karl and Lynell do more than just provide data for a family tree. The records they locate usually contain other interesting facts that are given to the client.

For example, one of my 4th great-grandfathers, a widower, age 50. an innkeeper, marries my 4th great grandmother, age 23. Their first child was born 2 months later and they had an additional 5 children afterwards. This method of providing data makes the ancestors real–instead of just a series of dates and places.

He also provided very detailed images (1:100,000) of pre-WW1 and modern maps showing locations of ancestral family members’ villages.

Karl provides detailed sources for each datum he provides. Foreign language documents written in the old Germanic Handschrift (digital or paper) are highlighted showing the data referred to. This provides documentation that assures even the unschooled client that the data Karl provides is accurate.

He also provides names of web sites the client may be interested in perusing more about the history of the area of ancestral origin.

If a client wishes, Karl also takes on the role of research instructor. This allows the client to follow his work and learn the process he goes through. He is happy to share his research knowledge. As a Detroit auto engineer, who is a stickler for details, I am grateful to have learned much from Karl about the research process.

GermanGenealogist.com = Karl-Michael Sala finds yet Another German place of origin!

HIGH SUCCESS RATIO! In the last year, not one, but two people have contacted me via my website; both provide what they seek. Skillfully, I find their ancestor on an immigrant ship AND the emigrant ship that departed Hamburg AND a previously unknown ancestral town of origin in Germany. I email, no reply; I call; the first one feels I am somehow ripping her off. Mind you, there was no demand made. The other says that she just put $20k into her house. She does not wish to pay me anything for this successful work. It required skill, language & transcription by a laborer in your vineyard, worthy of his hire! It was worth twice the amount I asked. Really? You can’t send anything? Nada? Zippo? Zilch? Then, why did you make a request on my website? I love to crack & solve cases, but the last time I departed the grocery store with several items, they actually wanted me to pay for the stuff. The landlord & Caesar also want their due. Go figure. While I might feel a little better having blogged about this incident, the bills remain unpaid. If someone found my Sala ancestor in Europe, I’d be all over it asking if they would accept a partial payment & monthly payments! Wouldn’t you?

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.”

Emotional & Mental Illness must be forgiven of those who trespass against us.

In re: perceived or real emotional & mental challenges, difficulties, disturbances, etc., I will continuously reiterate for all (& yes, please quote me): Emotional or mental challenges from otherwise-loved ones–with their associated bizarre & unreal expectations & misperceptions–are often the cause of the damage &/or loss of so many good family relationships.

It is difficult for us to empathize & forgive the emotionally/mentally disturbed because they don’t look mentally disturbed to us. But, empathize & forgive we must by identifying & “labeling” it by calling a spade, a spade. For, these folks are looking at the world through weird-colored glasses. They might see spades as hearts & they often deem diamonds as clubs.

Based on my observations, this is The Challenge for most of us in the world. “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these (read in this case perhaps: emotionally or mentally disturbed) my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” And “If ye love me, feed my sheep.” (even the ones that repeatedly bite you). In his plea, the Lord does not exclude those with mental challenges. And, in the final analysis: “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” You might think they know what they’re doing, but, in truth, THEY don’t even truly realize what they are doing. —Karl-Michael Sala, GermanGenealogist.com
