Remarks for genealogists

Who writes here?

German text

My name is Jens-Peter Stern, I grew up in a small village called Bornich in the vicinity of the famous Lorelei in today’s Rhein-Lahn-Kreis, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

Since the early 1990s, I have been intensively researching our ancestors.

In addition to data collection, I am particularly interested in the historical context, i.e. the circumstances in which the ancestors lived. For me, family research is something like a „historical application“.

Research areas

Beside my own line, I explore all ancestors from the point of view of my children. My research focuses on the German regions of Middle Rhine/Taunus, Baden, Franconia and the High Ash Mountains area in Sudets-Silesia/Austrian Silesia (today Czech Republic).

Here is an overview of the main lines …

Working principles

In my research and documentation, I try to act according to scientific principles if possible.

Correctness and accuracy are important to me. Despite all care, errors cannot be completely avoided. I would be happy to receive any information about them, preferably with appropriate source references.

I verify data about our immediate ancestors, which were taken from secondary sources, in the original documents if and as soon I have the opportunity to do so. However, information about other persons from secondary sources may be unverified.

If in doubt, I prefer to avoid data recording instead of speculating. But, I consider assumptions as legitimate if they are documented in a comprehensible manner. I do this – just like with any inconsistencies – with entries in the notes of my genealogy software.

It is also important for me to make my research results transparent, which is why I am using sources quite extensively. Data without verifiable sources is worthless.

However, my sources and notes can contain data on living people, e.g. from other researchers. I do not publish them for data protection reasons. I also make sure that living people do not appear in the internet database. When exporting the data from my genealogy software for the Internet database, only our ancestors and their descendants are transferred, without sources and notes.

On request, I am happy to provide more information and sources from my research results as PDF documents. But, I do not provide GEDCOM files or partial exports of them. I have several reasons for this…

  • There are many years of work in my research. I am happy to support other researchers with this. Over the years, I have regularly found that the verification of imported data takes at least as long as if you enter the data yourself. I do not support a non-verified transfer of my data.
  • I also hope for a critical view of my data and references to possible errors.
  • As an active family researcher, I regularly update the data. GEDCOM exports would quickly become out of date.
  • I provide my research results free of charge and do not want them to appear directly in portals of commercial providers and be used commercially by them. This is also the reason why I host my data myself. Exceptions are only GEDBAS and the annual data comparison of the Society for Family Research in Franconia, both non-commercial offers from associations where I am a member.
  • Finally, I think that you deal so much better with your ancestors and appreciate them by giving every person a few minutes of your time.

The website

I will inform you about changes in the database or on the website under „Neuigkeiten“ (News).

Our family chronicle contains the key data of the approx. 475-year history of Stammline Stern in chronological order (German only). The Stern-descendants – based on the primogenitor of your name line – are described in an additional article (German only).

The history of the Swatosch-ancestors from the Jeseniky region is explained in a separate text (German only).

For more information on our name lines, refer to the article on our earliest ancestors (German only).

In the category family history, individual research aspects and anecdotes about the Stern family are summarized in a loose sequence.

Further information can be found e.g. to our family crest and surname (German only).

The link list („Tipps“) is intended as a recommendation for genealogy tools.


Genealogical data

As mentioned above, for data protection reasons, the Internet database only contains the ancestors of our youngest family members in the „Stern“ name line and their descendants as a partial export from the entire database. Living persons were only included with their consent or if they are included in previously published sources.

Internet database

The latest data from my research results can be found in the database on my own server. In addition, the data are mirrored at GEDBAS – but not alway up to date.

The locations recorded in the Internet database are shown in a places list.

The top ancestors and their places of origin, our earliest ancestors and deadlocks in family research as well as unknown place names (German only) are listed in separate overviews.

Another presentations of our ancestors can be found in the ancestral topography (brief guide) and the node view (brief guide, German only).
