Who
we are
The association
of German speaking Professional Genealogists is a professional
association, whose members work as professional genealogists in the
regions in which German is spoken or in the areas in which German was
historically spoken.
What
we stand for
The goal of the
association is to encourage the professional standing of genealogists.
To achieve this we encourage:
- the exchange of information and technical cooperation between
professional genealogists and the training and further education of
professional genealogists,
- the advanced qualification of professional genealogists,
- a unified occupational image in the public eye,
- the representation of the members in a recognised field of
expertise,
- members in cases of disagreement which are of general concern to
the profession,
- enhancing the prestige of genealogy as a historical ancillary
science.
Our service
Every single one of our members is
specialised in a specific region or for a
specific field, which can be geographically independent. For those who
are looking for expert advice but are not sure to whom they should
apply, we offer a service in which an
enquiry can be sent to one or more specialists who are suitable for the
region or field. This gives you a safeguard that you will definitely
reach someone who guarantees a standard of
scientific seriousness.

the association please have a look at our organization.
