Prague, Czechia · from Urmia

Genealogist by trade, searcher by necessity.

I can read a Sassanid-era register and I still could not find my own name in a 1990s orphanage ledger. I now teach the workshop on reading Iranian civil records.

I can read a Sassanid register and not my own orphanage ledger

I am a genealogist by trade. The professional version of me has solved other people’s Iranian searches for years and has been beaten by a nine-line entry in a 1990s notebook.
