Professional Archival and Genealogical Research in Saxony
Finding reliable information in historical records often fails not because sources are missing, but because the starting point is unclear. Place names change, jurisdictions shift, and archives follow their own structures.
ArchivBegleiter provides professional archival research and genealogical consulting in Saxony, for clients who need clarity, reliability and well-documented results.
What I Do?
I support private individuals, researchers and institutions with historical archival research in Saxony.
My work focuses on:
- genealogical and biographical research
- archival research for publications, projects and documentation
- consulting and research planning before archival work begins
All research is carried out methodically, transparently and based on verifiable sources.
Research Services
Depending on your situation, support may take different forms:
Archival Research
Targeted research in Saxon archives, libraries and church records, based on clearly defined research questions.
Research Planning & Consulting
Clarifying feasibility, scope and archival responsibilities before research begins, especially useful when information is incomplete or contradictory.
Documentation
Clear written reports with source references, contextual explanations and next research steps.
Why ArchivBegleiter?
- Academic background in history and German studies
- Many years of practical archival research experience
- In-depth knowledge of Saxon archival structures
- Transparent methodology and documentation
- Clear communication and realistic assessment of results
Research is not outsourced. Responsibility for approach and results remains with me.
Who This Is For?
My services are suitable for:
- individuals researching family history or biographies
- authors and researchers
- institutions, museums and archives
- international clients researching Saxon sources
If you are looking for quick guesses or undocumented results, my services are not a good fit.
How to Proceed
Every project starts with a brief clarification of your research question and available information.
Based on this, I will advise whether and how research can be carried out meaningfully.

Experience – References – Testimonials
I can really recommend using the Research Service Thiele. Unfortunately, I could not go to the archive in Dresden in person. Mr. Thiele carried out the work clearly, without any problems and as quickly as possible. I appreciated the fact that I got to know the intermediate results, so that I always knew how much the invoice will be.
K. Frackman (Vancouver/Canada)
Mr. Thiele has helped me a lot in finding information about my family. While working on this project, he demonstrated an extremely high level of professionalism. Moreover, the support, provided by Mr. Thiele, was characterized by a high level of personnel engagement and human touch. He was not only trying to find information I needed-he was really walking me through the history of my family. I strongly recommend to approach Mr. Thiele for this kind of inquiries.
I. Vokatch (Geneva/Switzerland)
I am an old man in poor health and can’t do my own oversea research any more. Was a little nervous hiring a researcher but didn’t have a choice. Best thing I ever did !! Lars Thiele is a true professional, dedicated, motivated and very through. Easy to work with and keeps you updated on exactly what he is doing and why. Turned out that my needs were what I would call “out of his comfort zone, Saxony” and into Bavaria. He didn’t miss a beat, found me everything I could want and more. You couldn’t ask for a better researcher ! Highly recommend 5 star +.
