SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
One question about a person or a place in Berlin, answered from the records, in German or English. Give me the name, the year, the district, or just what you have. I read the sources by hand: Berlin address and telephone books, civil-registry and border records, 1961 Berlin. You get a short written brief, sources quoted, a page and a date on every line, and a clear note on what the record cannot settle. Strongest on German script and Cold War Berlin (1930s-1960s).

48 hours on a record pass. Free first look: send the question and I tell you straight whether the record can settle it at all. Page first, dates on every line. I mark what I couldn't settle instead of guessing.
