| Original quotations from our
clients |
| Wolfgang provided me not only
with dates, but also with interesting details, e.g., who would
have guessed that my great-great-grandfather taught dancing
in the old country? Further, he provided wise counsel, advising
me, for example, when a search would be too costly and/or unlikely
to yield results. Even more, he provided insight and perspective,
pointing out historical background information. Wolfgang's work
was prompt, thorough, and perfect. On a scale of 1 to 10, with
10 being the highest, Wolfgang rates a 20. |

"... your work is great, you did excellent
research for us ..."

My fifteen year old daughter and I embarked on a family research
tour of ancestral towns and cemeteries. Wolfgang organized
everything so well. We were able to get a lot accomplished
in very little time because he had everything coordinated
properly. From getting the keys to the cemeteries to making
sure we had the correct directions, Wolfgang orchestrated
our trip to perfection. He was also able to help us with much
needed translations. The trip would not have been as successful
as it was without Wolfgang's help. I hope to return soon and
hope Wolfgang will be available again!

| "The results of the research have made me
sleepless and speechless! Sleepless - due to the excitement
in discovering many new family members, and speechless - due
to the astonishing results unearthed from archival material." |
| "As a descendant of survivors
of the Holocaust, I have watched the cautious trepidation in
the eyes of my family each time I suggested that we research
our German Jewish roots. Aside from the horrors suffered, it
was perhaps fear in receiving confirmation that all had indeed
been lost, that elicited the negative response each time the
suggestion came up. Now that these members of the family are
long gone, and I have the results of Dr. Fritzsche´s research,
I can only wish that these Family members were around to enjoy
these interesting relations that, in our case, date back to
the late 1700s. Dr. Fritzsche´s work is professionalism
at its best! He meticulously researches each clue from pertinent
archival matter and with his expertise in history is able to
confirm and reconfirm data from other archives. The results
are outstanding indeed. Clotilde Wimmer, Bavaria, Germany, Ocober

"WOW! Thank you for your incredible work! I don't know
why I had assumed that if the Mormons had filmed in that area,
that they had filmed all the records which existed."
