On this page, you could find useful articles written by me to help you in your genealogical research. Through my experience, I was able to search for ancestors in many European countries, both in Eastern and Western Europe. This experience helped me to know diverse languages, specific contexts of historical periods, and, therefore what we need to do before doing research in France, Belgium, and Ucraina for example. In fact, if we don’t know the current archive system, and the law in each mentioned country, we will quickly be blocked. Moreover, if we don’t know that Ucraina wasn’t a unified country before 1922 as Belgium before 1830, we cannot understand why some regions have more information than another.
