Key Milestones in My Professional Journey

I have always been fascinated by the study of historical documents. For more than ten years, I worked for antiquarian bookshops as an expert, translating and describing Latin and German historical documents for auctions.

A defining moment in my life was creating my own family tree. It made me realize the true value this work carries. The commissions that soon followed one after another convinced me that there is still a strong demand for this kind of service today.
I have been working as a sole proprietor for seventeen years alongside my full-time profession. My primary goal is to provide my clients with something truly lasting by helping them discover their past. I firmly believe that by understanding the stories of our ancestors, we can also find answers about the purpose of our own lives.

„There is a story which has been waiting for you for a long time…” A story about the everyday struggles, dreams, joys, and hopes for the future carried through generations… A story shaped by countless births, loves, and losses… The most important story of your life — because it reveals who you are, where you come from, and perhaps even where you are heading… Allow me to tell this story for you.
