This year I started teaching focused small group coaching sessions rather than webinars where I can’t go deep. These are laser focused on the topic plus questions from attendees. Each session is limited to 10 people to allow me time to answer everyone’s questions. Each branch session goes in-depth on the 2-part research strategy I created 15 years ago to reconstruct military service even if the records burned for veterans and fall from World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam plus my secret weapon to change your research. So far I have taught:
- Army Morning Reports
- Army Small Group Coaching (SGC)
- Army Air Force SGC
- Navy SGC
- Navy, Coast Guard, Merchant Marine SGC
- Fold3 and NARA Catalog SGC
- Prisoner of War SGC
- WWII Death Records SGC
- Circle of Influence
- Organize Your Military Research
- General WWI/WWII Records SGC
- and more…coming soon – USMC SGC
Reviews of some of my programs
I’d like to share just a couple of the reviews I have received so far.

I wanted to help my cousin research and learn more about his Dad Carmen’s WWII service which included Battle of the Bulge and D-Day. I’m not an expert by any means, but have done well enough to find many interesting documents and newspaper articles. I poke around here and there as many of us do, with not much guidance, and never completely sure if I’m doing the research correctly and worried about missing important information because you don’t know what you don’t know.
I wasn’t too sure about what types of military reports and documents were available, but picked up new ideas with different comments I’d read or websites I’d click on. I felt like I was on the right track and finally turned to YouTube to see if I could learn any tips on how to pull Morning Reports, after learning what they even were. The very first video that popped up was Jennifer Holik’s. I watched the entire video with her detailed explanation and immediately went to NARA and tried it myself and it worked! I had been getting so frustrated trying to find the Morning Reports, but Jennifer clearly explained how to find the reports and I was thrilled.
She then mentioned that she had classes and a website to check out. I knew I had to take her classes and enrolled in 4 right away and spent the week in back to back classes, and I appreciated the pricing being affordable.
She is thorough, patient, addresses each question, and as she goes into the different searches, it’s clear that she is a longtime expert in her field and niche of Military research. She even helped me to understand that my Great Uncle had switched from the 5th Division to the 103rd most likely after he was wounded, with possible explanations behind it, which really helped. She understands how to read these reports and piece a story together.
I highly recommend Jennifer’s services to anyone who wants to research and write about their loved ones who served in the Military. She’s fantastic and I’ll be recommending her to anyone who might need her help. If it were my personal project, I’d hire her to do it all for me! Thanks again Jennifer! Your help is so appreciated!

Jennifer’s courses and Zoom chats have removed so much mystery from the process of researching a military veteran. I appreciate the straightforward approach that avoids going down endless trails of research that does not yield any results. She has designed a method to work through the labyrinth of military records which makes it possible for any level of researcher to understand.
I am an experienced researcher and Jennifer opened research doors for me I was unaware of. If you’re serious about your research invest the time with Jennifer, her knowledge is the kind only gained from decades of experience in this field.
