@brunathum
I lead genealogical and legal research for European citizenship recognition and civil-record regularization.
What I'm looking for
I founded Guia Imigrante, where I lead technical guidance on immigration, European citizenship recognition, and genealogical research. I combine document analysis, legal reasoning, and historical methodology to assess feasibility, identify risks, and guide civil-record regularization.
I've also delivered genealogical research for Rotunno, Familiares Genealogia, and Cidadania4U, helping structure workflows and produce rigorous reports. Alongside this work, I support academic operations at Craving Spanish and am pursuing a master's degree in History and Archaeology at UNTREF.
