I was born in 1976, and have been particularly involved in researching my ancestry in the Brunswick area since 1992. As a result of my detailed research, I was able to online publish a “Heritage book on monastery villages of Riddagshausen monastery”, which offers information beyond listing mere data, and is regarded a scientific work since it also analyses sources, such as pre-church register records, information on godparents to simplify demographic analysis, listings of relevant Holy Communion-, and/or Confirmation records.

After I’ve moved to Berlin in 2004, I am also committed to family research in the greater Berlin/ Brandenburg areas. I am fulfilling research orders commissioned by interested parties at an increasing level. As a result of working on a downloadable from my website, and primarily German project which focuses “Sources of population history in Brandenburg until 1945”, I am familiar with the portfolios and assets of relevant to family history archives in Berlin and Brandenburg.

Quite a number of important public/national and church archives can be found in the greater Berlin/ Brandenburg areas, and those are in easy reach for me. My research area therefore includes, but is not limited to Berlin/Brandenburg, the former Prussian provinces located east to the Oder river, such as Eastern Pomerania, Western and Eastern Prussia, Posen, Silesia, for which the relevant archives are located in Berlin and Leipzig. Being an active member of several genealogical organizations, I am not limited to archive research, but can also avail of preferred access to specialized libraries and research of subject matter literature. I shall be happy to compile an offer free of charge in case you needed any assistance in your research, and shall be happy to advise the best and most cost effective way forward.
