Only doing online research or depending on a newspaper article or a FindAGrave entry may lead you to the wrong story.

Last night I taught a WWII Navy research class. Love my students - they want to learn more than what's online. They want the strategy, to know where to find records and the answers they need. They want to know what the steps are and what to do when they get stuck.

If you are ready to move beyond the basic websites and learn the military research strategy and what you need to tell the story accurately, August classes are now up. One or two may be added but you can learn more and register today.

NEW! All students are now also being added to a Student-Only Q&A Zoom at the end of the month.

Helping people reconstruct veteran history even if the record burned at the NPRC in 1973. I also help people write their family and military stories and heal the past.

As a professional genealogist or military researcher we appreciate a steady stream of clients. But what if that isn’t the only gift we receive or give? I explore this my latest article.

The unexpected side-effect of military and genealogy research. When people hire a military researcher like me, or take one of my classes, they are usually searching for facts, or they want to write a book about their veteran. What many walk away with, whether they hire me, or take a class, or not, i...
