Donald Ludwig
Don Ludwig is a master genealogist, author, and world-renowned authority on polymer banknotes. A lifelong investigator of family histories, Don acts as a "historical detective," spending decades reuniting separated families and uncovering lost chapters of history—from Civil War eyewitness accounts to personal connections with the Enola Gay. Beyond his genealogy work, he is a pioneer in the numismatic industry, having co-authored leading catalogs on international currency and traveled the globe to document the cultural history of money. He combines the precision of a researcher with the heart of a storyteller, helping people reclaim their past before it is lost forever.
Don is from the same generation as my grandparents, but he comes from a branch of the family tree that split off from mine five generations ago. Fourth cousins twice removed! ✅💙
