Independent researcher and translator specializing in Spanish, Cuban, and U.S. family history. I research parish, civil, and notarial records — including handwritten Spanish from the 1500s to the 1900s — in the archives of the Basque Country (Gipuzkoa, Álava, Bizkaia), Spanish and Cuban record collections, and U.S. sources, and I maintain a documented family tree of some 17,800 people built record by record. Every conclusion I deliver is cited to its source and graded proven, probable, or hypothesis. I also translate Spanish documents into English — certificates, immigration and citizenship papers, letters — with a signed certificate of accuracy, and transcribe old handwritten Spanish records. Documented research activity since August 2018.
