Welcome on the englishspeaking page of the „Institute of applied Biography and Family Research Kassel (IBF-Kassel)” in Germany.
The Institute is a scientific research Institution and service for those citicens who are interested in biography and family research in Hesse, Germany or Poland.
Many citicens of Hesse, Germany and Poland left their home in the last 250 Years. Their descendents, who are living in the USA, Canada and other countries, are looking for their roots and want to know more about the origin of their forefathers. Many churchbooks can already be viewed through databases. However, many important information can only be found on site and in archives. The lack of knowlegde of the language and high costs prevent their own research.
