I have a university degree in history and politology, and during these studies concentrated on regional and social German history of the Early Modern times. Since 1995, I have been working as a professional genealogist, offering research in Bavaria and the areas around (Southwest Germany, Austria). Research can be done in all types of archives and records. Most of my clients live in America and have German ancestors, and emigration research is my specialty. I am a member of several regional German genealogical associations.
