I'm James Derheim, an American professional photographer with a background in
international travel including more than a decade spent working in Europe.

My experience as a photojournalist for a daily newspaper published in Germany is part of what makes my service
successful. I’m not just taking photographs, I’m seeking out the kinds of information that you want to add to
your genealogy.
Using what you’ve told me is important to your family history, I personally go to your ancestral town, walking
up and down the streets and alleyways with my cameras, capturing scenes that your ancestors would have known.
This includes:
- Ancestral homes
- Ancestral churches
- Burial grounds
- Landmarks that were standing when your ancestors lived in the area
- Landscape to help you identify your land of origin with where your ancestors settled in America

Towns and villages have not changed in many areas of Europe in hundreds of years. I perform this service in more
than 20 countries across Europe, bringing you a complete story through exceptional photographs and detailed
information about your ancestral town no matter how small it is, no matter where it is.
Because each project is created just for you, the contents of your portfolio can be anything that you want or
need it to be.
I’m a very curious detective with a camera, and the results of my work will bring meaning to your research in a
way that you never dreamed was possible. Many of my clients say it’s the next best thing to going there themselves.
