What Customers Say About My Work:
“Dear Mr. Rzeppa,
when you began your intensive research months ago, which you shared with me at various points, you initially had very little information to work with. Thanks to your wealth of experience, your in-depth knowledge, your creativity, and your patience, over time you first found clues, then sources abroad and documents, and finally answers to the questions, so that I am still amazed and grateful for the extensive results. I am very glad that you took on this challenge. Your work is so much more than that: you are uncovering part of the widely ramified roots that reach deep into the past for someone like me who has family questions. In doing so, you are enabling a look back and a better understanding.
Thank you for everything and best regards
Robert N.”
“Dear Mr. Rzeppa,
Your thorough research has solved a major problem for me: Who was Caroline X’s father? A great deal depended on this for the further development of my family tree, and you found the right answer with great dedication and expertise! I look forward to working with you again and can warmly recommend you to others.
With thanks and best regards
Francis”
“Dear Mr. Rzeppa,
After several unsuccessful attempts to uncover my grandmother’s story, I asked you for your expert help. Now, a family legend has become a bitter but also moving truth. What was previously hushed up rather than talked about can now be partially proven historically. My brother and I are grateful to you for your attentive, sensitive, and discreet work. At least now my grandmother’s fate can be revealed to our family.
Kind regards,
Simone R.

“Dear Mr. Rzeppa,
Although my own research enabled me to revive some pleasant contacts and establish new ones, I still had little success in finding information about my grandfather, who was my primary focus.
True to the old Telekom slogan, “Ask someone who knows,” I turned to you for advice, pointing out that I could not afford extensive professional family research. I was amazed that you willingly agreed to my request to pursue my genealogical research yourself, without any ifs, ands, or buts.
To my great delight, you surprised me at our meeting, which took place at my home, with some information about my grandfather and also showed me where to find this information. You gave me numerous hints and tips on how and where I could find what I was looking for and patiently explained the procedure to me. In addition to advice on archiving my letters and photos, some of which are very old, you reminded me of the calendar reform, which is why different dates can be found.
Now that I am equipped with this knowledge, I am setting off on my journey into the past—and if I get lost along the way, I will confidently turn to you again. My gut feeling tells me that with you as my travel companion, I cannot get lost!
Thank you very much!
Lisa S.”
“Dear Mr. Rzeppa,
I had agreed with you that you would search for additional information to supplement a family report I already had.
You checked the known facts, corrected some of them, and expanded on others. You also uncovered further details that were very interesting to me and that I would not have been able to find myself.
Conclusion: I am very satisfied with your work and would be happy to contact you again if necessary.

“We commissioned Mr. Rzeppa to create a family tree. Mr. Rzeppa succeeded in researching 300 years of our family history. He not only identified the names and dates of our ancestors, but also uncovered many interesting details (illegitimate children, religious peculiarities, unhappy marriages, old job titles). Mr. Rzeppa takes a strictly scientific approach, communicated with us throughout the research phase, and shared new findings with us. He is always transparent in the services he provides and offers them at a fair price. We can recommend him without reservation.”
“I asked Mr. Rzeppa to trace my maternal family history. Now I hold in my hands the over 300-year-old branches of my family tree. Mr. Rzeppa has accompanied me on this journey with great sensitivity, adding exciting, funny, and very interesting texts.
As a result, it is not just a family record full of numbers, but one full of discoveries, and it is also a joy for my mother and children to read. Thank you very much for this insightful family chronicle!
I can only recommend that everyone embark on a journey to discover their roots, and Mr. Rzeppa is a
great companion and researcher.”
“Dear Frank Rzeppa,
Just in time for our trip to Canada, I have our family history, “The Schömann Sisters,” in my hands and I am thrilled.
What began as a souvenir for my cousins and their families in Canada has turned into a real journey into the past. My family in Canada will be delighted with the professional English translation. This is the first time that the many treasured photos have been compiled and organized. My relatives in Germany are delighted with the many details and are discovering their own history.
You encouraged me to write down my personal memories of my mother’s stories and gave me tremendous support until all the results were consistent with the historical data. In the process, many stories about the flight and expulsion of the Schömann sisters have emerged, which you have checked and largely confirmed. Thank you very much for that.
I would particularly like to thank you for venturing to tell our family history from the perspective and lineage of the women in our family. That was very important to me. You did not shy away from the considerable extra effort involved in depicting “patchwork families” and illegitimate children, even though conventional research only recognizes the family trees of the heirs.
Thank you again for the intensive and pleasant collaboration on my family history. I will be happy to recommend you to others.
Warm regards from Bremen, Kristina.”
“Dear Frank,
I never would have thought that so many interesting facts, previously unknown to us as a family, could be uncovered from sparse information in church records and other sources. I particularly liked the summaries of life stories and the background stories. They bring the family chronicle to life. You are immersed in the past, which is illuminated a little, as if by a flashlight.
Thank you for the dedication you put into your research.
Warm regards,
Brigitte”
“Dear Mr. Rzeppa,
The family book “The B. Family: Ancestors, Backgrounds & Life Stories” that you compiled for me is very well done. In addition to the family stories that I was already familiar with, you researched many stories that were completely new to me, such as our family’s origins in Pomerania. Thank you very much for these new insights into our family history! And every time I read it, I discover new details! Your background stories in particular are very worth reading!
I would also like to thank you for your reliable, trustworthy, and sensitive cooperation. I always felt that our family history was in good hands with you.
I am therefore happy to recommend you to others and will definitely contact you again myself.
Kind regards,
Harald B.”
“Dear Mr. Rzeppa,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you again for the pedigree chart you made for me. Starting with your nice and competent advice to the creation and graphic composition of the family tree, I was very satisfied with your work. The pedigree has been enthusiastically received by my family. You traced my family tree back to the seventh generation and brought new and amazing facts to light (from unusual occupations of my ancestors to the whereabouts of my lost great-grandfather). I will gladly recommend you.
Best regards”

He is always very Professional and will Help you find what you’re looking for. Reasonable rates too.”
“The genealogist created a family tree chart for me and I am thrilled! Many interesting details from the history of my family have come to light. Mr. Rzeppa puts historical events in the context of one’s own ancestors. Thus history becomes personally tangible and alive! Quite great and definitely to be recommended.”
“Dear Mr. Rzeppa,
thank you very much for the completion of the family chronicle for the golden wedding anniversary of my parents just in time.
The book has become very beautiful. Extensive, understandable and very pleasant to read and peppered with loving details and historical references. We like to browse through it and always discover details that bring up new family stories. It brings life to times long past.
The effort of your research, my approaches to different family members and the joint selection of many family documents and pictures has been worthwhile. The cooperation was always characterized by friendliness and flexibility. You were also able to incorporate wishes at short notice. In spite of the partly unexpected expenditure of time, the book was on the gift table in time for the day of honor.
The family chronicle is not a steal, but the price for such an individual gift, which can only be realized by ‘real handicraft’, is reasonable.
I wish you continued success”
