Journalist, Historian and Genealogist

As an experienced journalist with a degree in history and a passion for tracing family roots, I can provide you with a highly qualified and extensive service. As a historian, I have had much practice with archives from Germany and abroad and have access to many different types of historical sources. I am fully aware of the problems and needs that arise during a genealogy study. The discovery of a family's history can not be considered just the collection of birth and death data. I am passionate about genealogy because the information reveals clues about the past life of an actual living person. I really enjoy the challenge of developing a timeline and discovering the history that tells a story of our ancestors.
