Genealogy and History

I have been researching topics of all kinds in genealogy and history for over twenty years, assisting people worldwide in search of their roots in Germany or in formerly German-settled lands, together with my partners. One of the focal points here is the history of Jewish families.

Our application of scientific standards combined with investigative instincts has often proved helpful, even if it does not apparently lead further. You can find more information about our work here.

Taking the notion that the past in many ways shapes our present, our concern is the broad spectrum of the culture of commemoration, such as the production of eye witness accounts videos. All our videos can also be found on our Youtube channel.

For some time now, my special focus has been on my Concise Guides to Conducting Genealogy in Germany ebook series. Following the volumes already published on the federal states of Brandenburg, Sachsen-Anhalt and Hessen, I am currently working on the volume on Bayern, which will be published in the course of 2025.
