ADD HOLSTEIN opens office in Innsbruck, Austria

The identification of unknown heirs knows no national borders. Of course, this sentence is not really true. Rather, one could say that the needs of heir tracing take no account of current borders. This is because the majority of the cases we deal with require research abroad. One important reason for this is the various border shifts in Europe in the 21st century. For example, our "German" research cases often have a connection to the former German regions of Silesia and Pomerania. In such cases, we have to search civil status registers on site in Poland and obtain certified copies of the documents found.

Foundation of the Austrian subsidiary in October 2024

It is not uncommon for our investigations to require research in Austria or in areas that formerly belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Such research abroad involves many hurdles. Knowledge of administrative structures, archive retention periods, and regional characteristics is essential—not to mention personal networking on the ground. We are therefore delighted that ADD HOLSTEIN is now represented in Austria with its own office and subsidiary. The new office opened in October 2024. Our premises are centrally located in the old town of Innsbruck.

Expertise in heir tracing in Eastern Europe and the USA

Our local employees each have more than 10 years of experience in the field of professional heir tracing.
