I am a professional genealogist based in Slovenia, specializing in archival research in Slovenia and the former territories of the Austrian Empire.

With over twenty years of experience working with parish registers, diocesan archives, civil records, land and court records, and early modern manorial materials, I provide thoroughly documented research that follows professional genealogical standards.

I assist clients from the United States, Canada, Australia and across the European Union with ancestry research, complex lineage problems, and documentation for legal and citizenship purposes.

I am available for collaboration requiring reliable on-site research in Slovenia and Central Europe.
