<p>I am a professional historian with an academic background. I have many
years of experience in Public Record Offices, local, private, and church
archives in Germany and Austria. For years I have been working in the
field of family history. The published literature shows that I am not
only familiar with genealogical research but as well with other subjects
during Early Modern German History (16th to 19th century).</p>
