Family tree construction
Biological family research (DNA and documentary sources)
Cultural Heritage Research
I provide historical, biographical, and provenance research applied to cultural heritage projects. My work focuses on reconstructing documented trajectories of individuals, artworks, and collections through rigorous archival research, critical source analysis, and transnational investigation—primarily across Europe and the Americas.This line of work is designed to support documentation processes, publications, exhibitions, and collections management within institutional and academic contexts.Research Areas
My practice includes:
Historical & biographical research
Provenance research
Artworks & collections histories
Archival research & source analysis
Publications, exhibitions & documentation
MethodologyResearch is conducted using primary and secondary sources, with precise documentation of the evidence located and an explicit record of gaps, uncertainties, and negative findings. The work clearly distinguishes between verified information, hypothesis, and interpretation.Engagement ModelI work as an independent external researcher, either supporting internal teams or delivering defined research phases under institutional guidelines. Projects are established in advance with clear scope, objectives, timelines, and deliverable formats.Engagements may be short- or long-term, depending on the needs and complexity of the project.
Genealogical Reports
Genealogical reports are more than a list of names and dates—they are a well-documented narrative of your family’s history and the connections that link each generation.Prepared with care and grounded in detailed research, these reports present findings in a clear, structured format. They typically include genealogical charts, analysis of historical records, and narrative context that places your ancestors’ lives within their time and place.This option is well suited for clients who want a durable, shareable record of their family history.
Record Retrieval
If you are missing a key document to complete your family tree—or need evidence to confirm a family story—this service can help you move forward with reliable records.I specialize in locating historical documentation such as birth, marriage, and death records, census entries, and other relevant civil, church, and archival sources.Using professional research methods and access to specialized repositories and databases, I identify and locate the records that provide the answers you need
Genetic Genealogy
Genetic genealogy combines documentary research with DNA evidence to explore biological origins and identify relationships that may not be visible through records alone.By integrating traditional genealogical methods with DNA analysis, this approach can help clarify geographic ancestry, uncover previously unknown family connections, and develop evidence-based hypotheses that can be tested against historical documentation.This service is well suited for clients who wish to add an additional layer of depth to their family history, address specific research questions, or investigate lines where records are limited or inconclusive.
Under Spain’s current Democratic Memory Law, I provide specialized research and documentation support to help you locate and obtain the records needed for your application.This work includes targeted archival and historical research to identify relevant civil, church, and archival sources, and to compile organized documentation for eligibility review and submission preparation.The service is designed to streamline record retrieval and guide you through each stage of the documentation process, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Transcription & Translation
We provide transcription for historical documents in French, Spanish, Portuguese, and English, producing clear, readable text while preserving the original content with accuracy and care. Materials may include handwritten manuscripts, family correspondence, and official records, transcribed to support reliable interpretation and analysis.This service helps remove language as a barrier when working with key sources, while remaining faithful to historical language, terminology, and cultural nuance.When certified translations are required for legal or administrative purposes, we coordinate certified translation services through qualified professionals.Please contact us to confirm feasibility, turnaround time, and whether certification is required for your specific use.
