Danish Professional Genealogist

I am a professional researcher with extensive experience in researching genealogical sources from Denmark. I have researched my own family history for more than twenty-five years and I have been a professional genealogist for eight years.

Extensive experience

I have extensive experience with Danish sources regarding emigration from Denmark to the USA.

Old handwriting

I am very competent in deciphering old texts, even gothic handwriting from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Precise sources

I always provide precise source references and detailed research notes so the reasoning behind each conclusion is clear.

  • “Without Lene Dræby Kottal’s wealth of in-depth knowledge about Danish records and her expertise in finding the ones relevant to my ancestors, I would never have been able to trace my Danish origins”

  • “Lene truly has a gift for researching genealogy. But the real gift is the final ancestry document or report. Professional quality in every aspect. ”
    — Nissen, The United States
  • “Lene can break through that brick wall that has stopped you from learning about your Danish ancestry.”
    — Katherine Lostan, United States
