  2. Ute, You have done it again. Thank you so much for finding another generation of my German ancestors. I also appreciate your forethought in finding the book on Helsen. I can’t wait to see what you find.

  3. Ute! Putting together my family story has been a highlight of my life. I couldn’t have done this without your expert genealogy research, your expertise in old German script, and your guidance in making a few of my own queries. You confirmed my great-great grandfathers management of the Circus Renz. You found that he had actually stepped into the lions cage in the event of the death of the lion-tamer due to pneumonia! The show must go on! You found the conversion of my ancestors from Judaism to Lutheranism in the 1870s. You found that I had a scoundrel great-great-great grandfather, “Whereabouts unknown”, who left his wife and family because of debt. But! You found him married with a whole new family in England there after!
    You have reached out to your vast network of friends and fellow genealogists to help me. You have found addresses of homes in Berlin and Bracht that still stand today. It is my hope to visit these places within the next year.
    Working with you, Ute, has been a fun and exciting journey. Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
    Sincerely, Becky H.
