A Bit About Me

I’m Andrés Restrepo — a genealogist and historian with decades of experience reclaiming citizenships, solving mysteries, and reconstructing family histories across the Hispanic world.
 

I’m known for cracking the toughest cases. When others hit a wall, they come to me — fellow experts, scholars, and clients alike — to untangle the most complex genealogical mysteries. My work spans the U.S., Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain, France, Portugal, and beyond.
 

Whether you're just getting started or facing a wall in your research, I’m glad you’re here.
