He had helped me find my ancestors from several areas of Schleswig-Holstein including my maternal line back to the 1700s. One day I will ask him to take my lines back even further where he can. His communication is always timely, and his reports include the original German text, English translations and maps - important if the ancestral locales are smaller rural areas. His fees are fair considering what it would cost me to travel to and in S-H, hire a translator, access archives and so on. If anyone ever needs questions answered about the work of Klaus Struve, please feel free to ask me via the list. Barbara My ancestral S-H surnames: Boie, Kroeger Tonner, Suhr, Luhr [Luehr in America], Karstens, Groth, Rohde Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
