I highly recommend working with them: they carefully listen and are skilled researchers.
Dave Anderson New York, NY - USA
“ They helped me confirm several Danish family lines, identify living relatives and they even found the 200-year farm where my 3x grandparents had lived, and arranged for me to visit it personally. For someone like me with amateur genealogy skills, there's still no substitute for skilled researchers in Denmark who speak the language, know the regional history and can navigate documents and sources with ease. ”
