May and September are my “High Seasons” and prices reflect the fact that most people want to travel at this time.
Part 1: Your group
Please elect a "Group Leader" that will serve as my primary contact for last-minute information about your tour.
Limit for private tours is 10 people. If there are between 6-10, then we would use two vehicles so that everyone has plenty of elbow room and places for bags. We would also use two drivers, myself and my wife, Jenean. There is no minimum number of people. I have done tours for solo travelers several times. You don’t need to fill up your tour. If it’s just you, then it’s just you. If just you and your spouse or partner, then that’s what we have.
I recommend that travelers be at least 25 years of age. In my experience, young people under the age of 25 do not enjoy genealogy tours. I will need complete information about each traveler. Leave blank all information that does not apply to your group.

Part 2: Your Research Objectives.
What country are you interested in researching?:
Germany
France
Switzerland
Austria
Belgium
Holland
Netherlands
Other
If you are interested in countries outside of those listed I can still assist you but please specify the country in the box provided.
This will be referred to as your “Primary Country” for the rest of the application.
I recommend a
minimum
of 48 hours spent in each town that you want to do research in keep this in mind when you are coming up with your list.
What are the names of the villages or towns that you want to do research in?
Tell me what you want to find out, see and do in these town(s).
Arrangements will be made with local officials to make sure that we have access to those areas that are important to your successful research there. These arrangements will be made well in advance of your tour.
This special service only applies to tours that are booked
at least
9 months in advance.
What are the names of the places you are interested in seeing but no doing research. For example, perhaps one of your great-grandfathers lived a short time in another village and you would like to see it, but do not actually do research there.
Name of non-research town(s).
Part 3: Excursions and side trips to other countries.
Are you interested in any cities, towns or villages in countries other than your Primary Country?
Comments about these optional countries and locations:
Part 4: Your comments, suggestions and ideas for your tour.
It’s important that you tell me what your wishes and desires are for your tour. I’ll accommodate all of your wishes, but I have to know about them first. In your own words, describe your perfect tour. Then, it’s up to me to make those dreams come true. Please enter your wish list below or you can send it in a handwritten letter, if it’s convenient for you, or you can
e-mail
me and let me know.
This completes the general tour application. After clicking continue you will be taken to an Individual Q&A form to give me information about each individual in the group. You should complete one Individual Q&A form for each group member.
Alternatively, you may print and mail this application to the address listed below.
