Bryce H. Rogers began doing genealogical research on his own family in 1995 at age 16 and has been fascinated ever since. He has helped many people find their American and Central European roots. He does research in Germany, the Czech and Slovak Republics, Austria, Switzerland, and other European countries. He has experience translating German documents into English. He resided in Southern Germany for two years and spent a cumulative of over two months on-site in German, Czech, Slovak, Slovene, Austrian, Swiss and Liechtensteiner archives and churches.
Bryce received his B.A. in Family History and Genealogy with a double major in German Studies from Brigham Young University. He volunteered over 100 hours at the Lower Saxony National Archive Branch in Hanover, Germany. He has extended ancestral families using the Regional Archive in Prague, Czech Republic, and deciphered German and Czech Gothic scripts in original records to solve ancestral research problems. His research trips to Central Europe were in 2005 and 2007, and he plans to continue researching in the records of these countries. He has assisted in evaluating and transcribing German-American parish records. He was a contributor along with Dr. Roger Minert and others to the publication German Immigrants in American Church Records, volumes I and II (Picton Press).
