We are a father-and-son business, consisting of Herbert Fehmer and Till Fehmer, specializing in genealogical research for U.S. customers with German ancestors. With over 30 years of experience in genealogy, we provide accurate and comprehensive research of the highest quality.

Our services cover the research of ancestors across the entire (former) German-speaking area, including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and other European regions. To trace your German ancestors, we consult a wide variety of sources, including both primary and secondary materials, whether digitally accessible or available only on-site in archives. These sources include church records, passenger lists, emigration databases, one-place studies, local chronicles, administrative records, newspapers, old address books, military records, censuses, civil records, and more.

Based in North Rhine-Westphalia, we can also conduct research in archives near our hometown of Nottuln (County Coesfeld).

Testimonials
"I can’t recommend this company enough, they are extremely detailed oriented, great communication about progress, quotes and pricing are extremely fair and reasonable. Learned about them from the great zoom presentation they gave sponsored by the Allen County Library in Ft Wayne Indiana."
Susan Kromer Hunt, Aerospace Engineer, Volunteer Admin at FamilyTreeDNA for Five surname Projects, Thirty-Five Years Genealogy Research Experience, Author of Multiple Genealogical Research Papers. 

"I needed help more with my German line of my dad's side since I could not break down a brick wall since I had no village of birth to go by. Till was able to help me out with information and get me back further. It helps getting a response back right away to get the results back right away."
Jenny W. Nebraska, United States

"Fehmer Genealogy conducted a genealogy investigation into my German great-grandfather's lineage. The analysis of U.S. census records uncovered discrepancies regarding his origins, making it difficult for me to research. After only five hours of thorough research, Fehmer Genealogy successfully verified his name with dates and locations, confirmed his parents, and identified his grandparents. Additionally, they provided information of previously unknown half-siblings. The report was professionally prepared and delivered in a timely manner, offering exceptional value for the investment."
Karen L. Washington State, United States

"I am a professional genealogist in the U.S. and needed assistance from a researcher in Germany to help my client grow her family tree. Till at Fehmer Genealogy exceeded my expectations with his expertise in German records and exceptional service. I will absolutely work with them again in the future!"
Ellen D. Illinois, United States
