Testimonials
Genealogy - on the trail of our ancestors!There is nothing as wonderful as satisfied customers.
I am happy about the friendly reactions to my research results.Thank you very much!
"As a director on a very popular and highly rated Norwegian documentary series called “Unknown Heirs”, I needed a genealogist who could track down possible, living relatives to a German man who served as a soldier during WW2 in Norway. By choosing Claudia we succeeded in solving the case which seemed impossible to us.
Our story got it’s solution in a small town in Switzerland. Claudia was the perfect detective with a lot of both persistence and creativity. When we finally met to do an interview, she also spoke fluent English and were easy going.
We highly recommend her as a dedicated, systematic and serious genealogist."

"Claudia, you did it! I was so amazed to read your email. After all these years of knowing only her name and date of birth, one email changed everything. ... I saw my mother's face for the first time at age 51. It's a feeling I'm still processing. ...
It is a strange thing to not know about your biological origin, and whether or not you have siblings and other relatives out there in the world. I was worried, and at times even convinced - that I would not ever have the opportunity to know.
You changed that, and I am forever grateful. My wife contacted several other genealogists in Germany before she reached you. They ALL told her that this information could not be found. We are so glad that we were persistent and that we found you.
This is life-changing work that you do!
I can't stress enough that we chose you because several others had previously said it was impossible to do what we were trying to do. We then found you, and while you explained the challenge and uncertainty we faced, you believed there was still a chance. You were of course correct, and that
has positively changed all our lives.
There are a few people someone meets in their lifetime who can completely change their life.
You are one of those people for me, and I can't possibly thank you enough."

Max Likin PhD from Seattle, WA:"Claudia Stock methodically researched my family background. She compiled a comprehensive, lucid report which contained some startling revelations about my forebears, beginning with my mother. Living faraway in Seattle, this sort of research would have taken years to execute. I’m glad I took this leap of faith. Very courteous and professional email exchanges. Claudia's excellent work is now part of my family memory — if this can be explained. Highly recommended." 11 June 2020
Karin S. from UK:"Dear Claudia Wow!!! I cannot believe you found out so much in such a few weeks - oh why did I wait so many years to find you! I have not really taken it all in yet and need to read this slowly and think about where to go - but I will definately be asking for your help to chase up some of the relatives. I would love to see what my mother looked like and my half sisters and will be coming back over to visit in the future. How can I thank you - your service is wonderful. Thank you so much. I will be in touch when I have decided where to go with this information next.Karin" 29 October 2019

if we don't know anything about where we have come from and
what we have been through, the courage shown, the costs paid, to be where we are?”

"I've always watched my grandmother and mother work hard. That's all I've known."
M. Tischel from Hannover:"Dear Mrs. Stock, I have just received your report and I am overwhelmed by what you have been able to find out, the abundance and detail are enormous, my own research was so unsuccessful, as I simply did not know where to go. Thank you very much for the competent and extensive help, I am so glad that I have followed the advice of my friend to engage you.All the best."
