So I started to study family research and genealogy. The starting point for the personal research at that time was a trip to Southern Bohemia (Czech Republic) to the State Regional Archives T\u0159ebo\u0148 (formerly Wittingau).\u00a0For a small fee I got the original church books in my hands and I could trace my family name back to 1636 within a week. Since then, the topic has not let me go.\u00a0Over the years, I was able to explore other family branches in Bavaria, Silesia (Poland) and Transylvania (Romania). In the meantime, passion has become a vocation and also a profession into which I can contribute all my experiences and my knowledge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Genealogy &#8211; Family research &#8211; Ancestor research I am Michael Mautner and I have been a genealogist in Munich for many years.
