Research

Family tree

  • Are you interested in your ancestors?
  • Do you want a tree of your family?
  • Don't you have thorough command of Dutch, French or German?
  • Are you not familiar with foreign sources?

We search documents and certificates from all kinds of historical sources such as archives, libraries, associations, societies, newspapers, etc. Research requests are coming from the Netherlands, Belgium, France and overseas. Through our knowledge of those countries and languages we are capable to help a lot of people. Do you want to know more, please contact us.

Family

Hundreds of thousands of people are missing an important link in their lives, they don't know who are their father or mother, they have never seen back their child that was given up, they don't know their brothers and sisters which are from another relationship of one of their parents. Besides that there are a lot of people who like to meet again people who played a great role in their lives when they were young. An old friend or your first love.

DNA

  • Is your family tree blocking?
  • Are you looking for biological relationship(s)?
  • Is your family tree correct?
  • Are your fatherline and motherline in order?
  • Do you want to know the migration route of your father- and motherline?
  • What is your ethnic origin?
  • What is your ancient origin?

DNA reserach (genetic genealogy) is actually the extension of "paper" research. Mostly in the case that that "paper" research cannot give an answer anymore about the relationship between families. Such as relationshipresearch between Dutch, Belgium, French and other families who were fled and separated from their country and family during wars and revolutions in the period 1500-1700 in Europe caused by religious, political, social, economical and militairy disturbances.

History

PhilGene is specialized in history and migrations in the 17 Provinces of the Nedtherlands and France between 1500 and 1700. Important moments in this history are the 8 internal French wars (1562-1598), the iconoclasm (1566), the 80 years war with Spain (1568-1648), the French expansion wars (1643-1715), etc. and all the additional economical, religious and social-society turmoil. Through history, genetics and genealogy PhilGene tries to give family research a place in history. Through DNA research PhilGene tries to kill the family barriers where church records cease and connects families biologically in another timeframe, which was not possible through "paper" research.
