About me
![](http://www.geyer-genealogie.fr/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/photo-ID-noeud-papillon.jpg)
I’ve been passionate about genealogy for over 20 years, and I graduated from the University of Le Mans with a degree in “History and Family Genealogy“, with first-class honors. The combination of these two experiences has enabled me to acquire the methods, rigor and perseverance needed to work as a professional genealogist. I enjoy undertaking research and solving puzzles.
I’m a member of the SYGENE chamber of professional genealogists, L’alliance des généalogistes professionnels (formerly Chambre syndicale des généalogistes et héraldistes de France, CSGHF). I apply the rules of professional ethics and confidentiality laid down by my chamber.
Based in Strasbourg, I can easily travel to communes in the region to consult deeds in town halls or clues in cemeteries. What’s more, I speak Alsatian and am fluent in the various deeds (civil status, notarial, registration, land registry, etc.) drawn up in dialect and German during the periods of annexation (1871-1918) and occupation during the Second World War.

On October 27, 2023, the awards for the Prix Michel FLOUCAUD de LA PÉNARDILLE 2023, presented by the association “La France Généalogique – CEGF”, were handed out. I was honored to receive 2nd prize for my monograph “Une lignée de Geyer, modestes figures de l’histoire alsacienne de 1700 à 1965” (A line of Geyers, modest figures in Alsatian history from 1700 to 1965).
