Brian Béla Schellenberg

Brian Béla Schellenberg has been a professional genealogist for over a decade, specializing in immigration from and research in the former German Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Switzerland. His passion for history stems from his Hungarian-born father, who was a high school social studies teacher in Minnesota. This led him to study history and German in Colorado and Austria before joining Ancestry in 2012. Brian loves the way genealogy allows researchers to learn more about individuals and make history a personal experience.
