Facts and hints
which I focus on during research:
β€”Β names, Eastern Europe is a multilingual and multicultural region, so it is important to consider all possible forms of a personal name, patronymic and surname;
β€” dates, they helping identify a person and giving time frames for facts and events;
β€” religion and social group, because each community had its own history which provides clues for the research;
β€” places of residence give us location frames and able to prove relationships between residents;
β€” occupation and place of work, despite possible biases, could outline persons portrait, their motives and reasons;
β€” accuracy of facts and possible ambiguities, to highlight weak points of the evidence base.
Broad network of contacts
for the last 14 years, I have researched documents in almost all main archives in Eastern Europe.
