New Program Available

by Leave a Comment

Saturday 12 August I’m speaking for the Genealogy Study Group of West Michigan.

This NEW program is now on my website for booking at your society or organization through 2024. You can view all my program options here which includes a PDF download.

Program: Circle of Influence. Using Genealogy & FAN to Identify Family Patterns and Trauma

We’ve heard of the FAN concept in genealogy – Friends, Associates, and Neighbors – as a way to locate genealogical records to prove the “John Smith” in the records is or is not your John Smith. Have you ever considered using this concept another way to help you identify why an ancestor was the way they were or carried certain patterns?
Using case studies, in this new program we will explore the FAN concept with an added F for FAMILY and create the web of who was involved in an ancestor’s life or even your own, that influence who you became, the beliefs, behaviors and patterns lived and possibly any traumas that may have been passed down.

Email me at info@wwiirwc.com to book a program for your organization.

Does Your Organization Need a Speaker?

by Leave a Comment

After taking a two year break from public speaking, I’m excited to announce that I am now taking bookings for webinars for organizations, genealogy societies, and other groups.

If your organization, does not have to be a genealogy society, is looking for a speaker on military research & writing, genealogy, writing family & personal stories, and ancestral & personal healing, I now have a new speaker page with current program offers on my website.

Additionally, if your group is looking for a transformative study group program, details are on the speaker page for the Your Family’s War Journey masterclass I offer. Contact me to set up a time to discuss this course and if it is a good fit for you and your friends.

Please feel free to pass it along. https://www.ancestralsoulswisdomschool.com/needa-speaker
