Genealogical Services

Let the Archives Speak to You Through clios-path.com

My core expertise lies in the investigation and transcription of historical documents from the states of the former Austrian-Hungarian monarchy with a particular focus on the Tyrol and Carinthia. Moreover, I offer investigations in neighboring states like Germany, Italy and Switzerland.

Customers enjoy a complete genealogical service after settling on the scope of the investigation, but I also carry out smaller assignments, for example, if you need help making sense of an old German document or a text written in Latin. Not only do I transcribe those texts for you, but I’ll also put them in a historical context, or explain the political circumstances that prevailed at the time they were written.

I offer profound historical expertise and evidence-based genealogical work, that goes much deeper than the copy-paste methodology offered by online databases. That means I will travel to archives and do the gritty work to answer all the questions that arise during my investigations.

Evidence-based genealogy must be differentiated from conclusio-based genealogy. It is scientifically founded and much more than the mere comparison of online database entries. Online research can only go so far, and it will never replace the quality of a historian’s work in a real-life archive.

Should the journey into your family’s past have made you curious of the city or region your ancestors lived in, and you feel like travelling to your home country, I can prepare an exclusive guided genealogical tour for you.
