"All I had was my grandmother's name and a town I couldn't pronounce. Benjamin found her birth record in a parish book and built the rest from there. I never once had to chase him for an update."

"Saved me months of frustrating guesswork"

I hit a total brick wall trying to find my grandfather's 1940s naturalization records. Benjamin completely turned things around, he knew exactly which German archives to contact, found the missing birth certificates within weeks, and handled all the back-and-forth.

"Amazing service"

They traced my family back to a small town in Bavaria and retrieved certified copies from local church archives I couldn't access online. The communication was quick, transparent, and saved me months of frustrating research with German authorities. Truly worth the money.
