About Greg

I am a professional genealogist who combines two complementary skills, family genealogy and genetic genealogy. After more than 30 years of personal research on my family as a passionate amateur, I professionalized my practice by following training at the Ecole Nationale des Chartes and the Institut Français de Formation à la Généalogie, and especially by multiplying investigations and complex cases.

Do you need help tracing your genealogy over several generations, publishing your research in a book or on a website, understanding the results of your DNA test, or identifying an unknown ancestor? Contact me!

Whether you don't have the time, the desire, or the skills to carry out your research yourself, I analyze the feasibility of your request and offer you a quote based on the complexity of the service and any necessary travel.

Based in Paris, I can quickly carry out your research in the main archives of Ile-de-France (Archives de Paris, National Archives in the Marais and Pierrefitte, Historical Service of Defense in Vincennes, etc.). And my area of intervention is much wider: due to my origins, I have specialized in the archives of the Grand Est (Lorraine and Alsace) and German-speaking countries (Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg) and my wife's family's British branch has led me to further expand my research territory internationally (United Kingdom, Ireland, Sweden, United States…). I also work as needed in tandem with colleagues from the UPro-G network (Union Professionnelle de Généalogistes) of which I am a member.

    Family Genealogy
    ================
    Here are my most common interventions in family genealogy, knowing that I also carry out more personalized services. I take particular care with the writing and visual presentation of my research reports, which systematically include a detailed account of my approach and all the documents found.

    - Ascending Genealogy
    Research and creation of your family tree over 5 or 6 generations or more

    - Descending Genealogy
    Research of all descendants of an ancestor couple

    - Unblocking
    Specific research to resolve your genealogical impasse

    -Military Genealogy
    Research of documents and reconstruction of military careers

    - Property Genealogy
    History of a property, its owners and its successive inhabitants

    - Paleography
    Deciphering and transcription of old documents in French, Latin, German, English

    Genetic Genealogy
    =================
    Genetic genealogy is a new discipline that I have already mastered perfectly, having participated in numerous international conferences on the subject. Although still prohibited in France, it is nevertheless practiced by hundreds of thousands of French people who have had their DNA tested by foreign laboratories. If this is your case, I can help you understand and use the results you have obtained: interpretation of the report provided by the laboratory, analysis of genetic matches, search for biological parents or unknown ancestors, individual coaching on your research, etc.

    - Results Analysis
    Interpretation of your DNA test results and action plan

    - Genetic Tree
    Search for biological parents or unknown ancestors

    - Support
    Monitoring the evolution of your genetic matches in each laboratory

    Conferences and Training
    =====================
    Finally, I enjoy sharing my knowledge and passion to benefit amateur and professional genealogists. I regularly speak at conferences for associations or institutions, or at genealogy fairs, in person or remotely. I actively monitor new tools and innovative features in genetic genealogy to integrate them into my presentations.

    - Conference
    Speaking at fairs or for associations or companies

    - Training
