I am dedicated to helping you discover your ancestral heritage and uncover the rich stories of your family’s past.

Professional Journey 

I began my professional genealogy journey in 2009 when I founded Rootseekers - Genealogical Research and More. During my many years as a senior genealogist with AncestryProGenealogists, I further deepened my expertise while making significant contributions to the team. My commitment to detailed, accurate research has helped me establish a reputation as a trusted expert, especially for clients tracing their German ancestry from the 20th century. 

 

A Recognized Figure

I have also been fortunate to contribute to popular genealogical television shows, including Finding Your Roots, Who Do You Think You Are, and Every Family Has A Secret. My work on these programs, as well as on the award-winning documentary The Upside Down Book, has allowed me to bring family stories to life for a broad audience. Additionally, my expertise in German genealogy has been recognized in the German media, where I’ve appeared on national television and in the press.

 

Why I Do This

My background in law, combined with my passion for genealogical research, drives me to uncover the truth and bring families together. For me, helping people discover their family history and reconnect with their heritage is deeply personal, and I approach each project with the care and dedication it deserves.

My German Family

"When I asked Ursula Krause to do research for me into my German grandparents, I expected birth, marriage and death records for both my grandfather's and grandmother's sides of the family. What I got was those and more. Photos of the village and the church where my family worshipped. The unit history of my grandfather's World War I service. Leads to possible living cousins. And a candid cost-conscious appraisal of where research should be focused for the most benefit. In short, I got a thoroughly professional job from a thorough professional I wouldn't hesitate to recommend."
