PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Discover Your Family’s Story with a Solid Research Plan. Unlock the secrets of your ancestry with a well-crafted research plan! Just like planning a vacation, a genealogy research plan keeps you focused and on track, helping you avoid unnecessary detours and dead ends. Whether you’re answering a simple question like “Where was Grandpa Joe born?” or tackling a complex mystery such as “Who was the father of Mark Roberts Johannes?”, a structured plan empowers you to conduct an organized and efficient search. Avoid falling down the genealogy rabbit hole — and the dreaded ‘re-do’ — by learning how to create a focused research plan and document your discoveries along the way. Join us and take the first step toward uncovering your family’s story!
