About Viviane

You have names, dates, places, perhaps some old documents... but do you really know their story?

As a former teacher and tour guide, I now use my expertise in history and language to serve your roots. Where records become illegible, I intervene; thanks to my mastery of ancient scripts, Latin, and Occitan, I decipher for you the secrets of old documents that time thought it had erased.

My approach doesn't stop at the family tree; I mobilize my skills as a researcher and writer to transform your archives into a living, educational family chronicle.
Let's give a voice back to your ancestors together.
