I am a professional genealogist and author with specialized education and extensive experience in Jewish history across Eastern European countries. Currently, I work with familyheritage.eu, a genealogical research company.

If you have Jewish roots in Eastern Europe, I will thoroughly explore and uncover all available records to help you reconnect with your heritage.

My services include:

  • Comprehensive family history research packages for personal exploration or citizenship applications
  • Expertise in complex cases, including adoption, limited primary information, and documentation for heritage or residency verification
  • Research within archives in Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Poland
  • Training sessions in independent genealogical research methods
  • Consultations on genealogical and DNA research specific to Jewish ancestry
  • Writing thematic articles on genealogy and history
  • Organizing and hosting thematic online meetings
  • Translation services for archival documents
