After completing of my legal studies I have been a free-lance professional genealogist since 1984 with one office close to Zurich and another in Berlin. I work in all archives and with all archivists that could contain material relevant to genealogy. My areas of expertise include:

  • research in matters of emigration and the determining of source areas,
  • the church records as well as the legal and administrative documents of the area formerly known as Prussia (I have a data bank with over 250,000 entries),
  • heir tracing.

I have published numerous articles in genealogical publications and have taught genealogical methods at Colleges of Adult Education and Universities.
