We are a genealogy services business specializing in German and Midwest (United States) ancestry. Reading German script, especially as found in church records, is one of our specialties.

Using United States resources, we can help you find the town where your German ancestor was born. If you already know the town but do not know how to proceed from there, we can help you locate the records. If the records are available to United States researchers, we can undertake a project to research your family into Germany as far as the records will allow.

Located in the Chicago area, we frequently do research in Cook County's governmental offices and archives; the National Archives' Great Lakes Branch; the Newberry Library and the Chicago History Museum, to name a few.

We offer research services throughout Illinois and other areas of the Midwest.

We provide lectures and workshops related to our areas of expertise.
