Peter Eyckerman (°1968) started with genealogy at the end of the 1990's, when he was still a software engineer. Gradually gaining more and more experience over the years he became a genealogy blogger in 2008 and a professional genealogist in 2011. In 2014 he wrote a 16 chapter course on genealogy in Belgium and the Netherlands for distance learning institution NHA.
In 2022 he finished the microcredential Genealogy & Genetic Heritage at the University of Antwerp.
