Clear support for the people who need proof, not guesswork

Different clients come with different pressures. A family may want a trustworthy lineage and clear family history. A notary or authority may need documentation that helps a probate process move forward. An heir who has been contacted may want reassurance, clarity, and a fair model before taking the next step. We serve all three, but we do so with the same standard: source-based, verifiable, responsibly presented findings.

Built for cases where proof matters

ANP delivers evidence-based genealogy and probate research with rigorous source processing, transparent scope, and risk-aligned representation—so complex cases move forward with defensible documentation and clear next steps.

Evidence-first methodology

Research is conducted with a strict focus on sound evidence and traceable sources—so your outcome is usable for real decisions, not based on assumptions.

Manuscripts & source processing

Historians specialised in old German manuscripts and source processing handle difficult handwriting and older archival material—making complex cases accessible and verifiable.

Transparent scope and fees

Genealogy work starts with a transparent, non-binding quote based on scope, complexity, and urgency. Travel expenses are separated, and archive visits are combined where possible to optimise costs.

Risk-aligned probate representation

For represented heirs, ANP requires no upfront payment and charges a fee only if an inheritance is paid out; if there is no payout, there are no costs. Document procurement is handled efficiently with a power of attorney.

A success story of excellence in the Historikerkanzlei network

We operate as part of the Historikerkanzlei group—an international network active across Europe and the USA. This provides cross-border reach with local accessibility for complex, multi-jurisdictional cases
