Job Title
Professional Genealogist
Carolyn Schott (CG) has researched her German ancestors for 20+ years, following their wanderings through Eastern Europe before arriving in the U.S. She is one of the founders of the Black Sea German Research Community (GRHS), and author of the book, “Visiting Your Ancestral Town.”
Schott's research has required her to research records in the U.S., Germany, Ukraine, Moldova, and Poland. The Black Sea German Research Community, which she helped found, is a website dedicated to helping people with hard-to-find information on their ethnic German ancestors who lived in areas bordering the Black Sea.
Schott has been speaking on genealogy-related topics since 2007 and has been published in the National Genealogical Society Quarterly.
