Ute Brandenburg is a bilingual German American, born in the US and educated in Germany. As a researcher, she combines her thorough understanding of German history, geography, and culture with a broad knowledge of US immigration history and sources.
Ute has a fascination with old documents. One of her favorite experiences as a researcher is to work with original records at German and Polish archives. She enjoys and excels at reading handwriting from five centuries.
In recent years, Ute has had remarkable success in using DNA to solve German origin questions as well as cases of unknown paternity in Germany. She lectures to international audiences on this topic.
Together with Ursula C. Krause, she is part of the German Genealogy Headquarters, the go-to place for German genealogy education and mentoring.
