160+ online Linkedin.com Endearing Endorsements, Commendations & Kudos from coaches, colleagues & clients for this gifted & talented researcher--& that's just since July 2008! & that's just from folks who happen to be on Linkedin! http://www.Linkedin.com/in/germangenealogist
Karl has received hundreds more offline client letters of gratitude & commendation since 1979. This, due to Karl's having found ancestral data, often within MINUTES, that other researchers either did not, could not or would not find.
Since 1979, THOUSANDS of data, documents & images for THOUSANDS of ancestral family members for HUNDREDS of clients' ancestral family members have been found by The German Genealogist!
After THOUSANDS of hours of German Genealogy research, in 1984, Karl-Michael Sala was accredited as a German Genealogist by the Family History Library of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After more than a decade of absolutely stunning successes for his clients, Karl was run into by a drunk pick-up truck driver. This 1995 near-death experience ultimately caused that his accreditation was involuntarily pulled. This was to protect the name of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. However, since '95, along with Karl's recovery, Karl has had more success than ever for clients, patrons, himself & his living family members!
Since 1980, Karl has traveled 7 times behind the former Iron Curtain to East Germany to successfully exhaust hundreds of parish registers of the target ancestral family members.
Karl is a former USAFR Intelligence Officer who earned a Deserving Airman Commission while he had been serving as an Intelligence Operations Specialist & Linguist (German), Interrogator, Debriefer (non-commissioned officer at that time)
Karl is the very 1st person hand-picked for the Paid Expert Ancestry Research Line at Ancestry.com. His wife, Lynell Sala was the 2nd person selected for their short-lived, but highly successful Paid Expert Research Team!
When that project was abandoned, because of his language & research skills, Karl was promoted to taking the majority of research-oriented emails & phone calls from Europe for Ancestry.de, the Deutschland, i.e. Germany, version of Ancestry.com!
As the primary European ancestral genealogy & family history research consultant, Karl served Europeans in their native German language. This further fulfills blessings he had been given earlier in his life.
On the Ancestry.com International Team, Karl served as a consultant for Australia, Austria, Great Britain & mainland Europe! He cracked & solved many cases in those diverse locations.
For their clients, Karl & Lynell have found data & documents on thousands of living & deceased persons. The German Genealogist has solved cases that others said "can't be done!"
Just since Memorial Day 2010, Lynell & Karl-Michael Sala have cracked 6 cases in 6 locations! Germany (4), Lithuania (Littau, i.e East Prussia or Ostpreussen), Poland (5) (Posen or Poznan), Atlantic Ocean & the USA.
Indeed, Karl-Michael Sala is a Master German Genealogist!

I’d like to know how can I recieve the cd’s and more information in German writings please
thank you.
Karl-Michael Sala
Hi Juan Carlos,
The two CDs were hundreds of images they had burned” for us of my own ancestral family members. Lynell & I went there in person to do the research ourselves.
We can decipher the old German script even better than my mother, who was native German. The archives unfortunately do not allow the public to “burn” their own images.
As far as German “writings” or research, that is what we do. For some complimentary (free) consultation, email karlmsala@msn.com all details on just what it is you seek!
You just made one of the best connections–ever–with a very successful genealogist married couple.
1972: played in a soul music band with Tim Russ (Tuvok, black Vulcan, Star Trek Voyager). So guess whom Tim would hire to find his Russ family in all USA documents back to & including his pre-Emancipation, previously unknown ancestor, Itasca “Tasker” Russ!
GermanGenealogist.com is a near-death experience survivor, but has had his most successful 2 years–ever. Read his valuable message.
Karl-Michael Sala aka GermanGenealogist.com would like to network by paying you a 10% residual reward!
When Ancestry.com created a research team, guess who were the very 1st two persons they hand-picked to initialize that team? Karl, then Lynell Sala!
Why? How about an 80% success ratio in having found what their subscribers could not find!
Then, 2006-2007, Karl was THE primary European & German Genealogy research consultant for Ancestry.de[utschland]. When that, too, was disbanded, Karl & Lynell launched GermanGenealogist.com. It was the best thing they ever did, for, each year, GermanGenealogist.com has set new quantity & quality European & German Genealogy research milestones!

As a 1995 near-death experience survivor, Karl says that time is short. There is no more time to just “dink” with ancestry, genealogy & family history. Since 1979, he has found THOUSANDS of data, documents & images on THOUSANDS of ancestral family members for HUNDREDS of clients, family, friends & patrons!
Lynell & Karl pay a 10% residual reward for referrals–even if we seal the deal. You may offer your patrons & clients a whopping 50% discount on their initial research retainer ($1,000 to $10,000) that is online or from microfilm. For on-site, traveling research, we still grant a 10% discount & also pay you the 10% residual. Nobody is offering this!
Expensive? No, Ma’am. Expensive is when you spend 30 years just TRYING to find what we usually DO FIND within ONE week or month!
Need 3rd party references? Read 66+ (yes, sixty-six; no, not connections, but) endearing endorsements on Linkedin.com! And that’s just written since 2008 from coaches, colleagues & clients that extend all the way back to Karl’s high school in Izmir, Turkey! Hundreds more offline.
Since 2010: We’ve set more milestones, i.e. found more ancestors (1,000+) in more towns & villages of Baden, Bayern, Rhein-Hessen & Württemberg (provinces of Germany), Forro (town in Hungary), Schakuhnen (town in Lithuania), (numerous places in Poland) & the USA–in less time– than EVER!
Since 1979, my wife & I have found thousands of data, documents & images on thousands of ancestral family members for hundreds of clients. We love what we do & wish to remain your occasional ancestral family servants–forever. Most of our cases are complicated, but usually not insurmountable.
