Nathalie Jovanovic-Floricourt

President

In 2008, my father died of colon cancer, a potentially genetic and hereditary cancer. After 13 years of fighting with him, I wondered: would I be the next to have this cancer?

After doing a medical genetic test abroad, I almost inadvertently discovered the richness of genetic genealogy.

Practicing classical genealogy for 30 years, I literally fell passionate about this new discipline. I was now devoting my leisure time to developing my knowledge in this discipline to better exploit genetic data.

DNA, a genealogical tool, released in March 2018, is out of stock two weeks after its release. Reprinted, the success does not falter as well as the rave reviews in the press.

The creation of the association DNA PASS, on May 5, 2019 (symbolic date because my father’s birthday) was the logical continuation of this approach in order to help francophones in their efforts.

He began his genealogical process in 1982. In 1987, while Germany was still divided, he undertook a global research by forming the “WEISSLEDER Family Archives” (“More Than a Name”) and in 1991 established the Foundation “Family Community WEISSLEDER” (“A name Connects”) with the organization of annual cousins.

Weissleder is an expert in the historical development of genealogy in Germany and international structures.

He currently focuses his research on the history, biographies and genealogies of German emigrants aboard the mecklebourg boat “Pribislaw” (1847-1870) during his three major voyages to Australia (1849/50) and the United States (1851, 1853/54). “Friends of Pribislaw” seek both the ancestors and descendants of these immigrants.
