A question about a name, a correction, an order or a press enquiry — everything lands in the right place here.
This is the most important email you can send us. Onomastics works with probabilities, and anyone who knows the history of their own name from family records often knows more than any dictionary. What helps us:
We check every report and correct the page, add the differing interpretation or take the page offline. How we work in general is explained under Sources & Method.
Our surname encyclopedia keeps growing. Is yours missing? Send us the name — names with many requests are next in line. Until then, the instant research on the home page delivers a result for every name, even very rare ones.
For questions about an order (PDF certificate €3.90 (from 21 Sept 2026: €4.90), name video €9.90), please include the email address you used at checkout and, if available, the order number. The certificate is ready immediately after payment is received; the video is produced individually and delivered within 48 hours. Our terms and right of withdrawal apply.
Enquiries from the media, about partnerships with archives, associations and family-history projects, and about advertising placements go to the same address — please put "Press" or "Partnership" in the subject line.
