As a former Homeschooling Mom I always scoured the internet for resources that would engage my kids. My oldest is really into history but hated writing. I had to figure out how to get him to write. Finally, one day, a teacher friend recommended that I have him write about what he loves. I stopped forcing him to write what I wanted him to and instead chose the topic of History and his writing began to blossom. After taking the classes myself at the WWII Research and Writing Center, I immediately knew that they were a great option for homeschoolers. My son, Quinn, took a peak at them and said “I wish I had these when I homeschooled. I would have taken them all!”
We have Writing classes, how to do WWII Research online, Finding the Answers in the IDPF (Individual Deceased Personnel File) and more. Your student will be engaged in every class. If your student loves History- these classes are for you! If your student likes a good mystery and enjoys being a detective then Finding the Answers is a perfect fit.
Each class description includes the Educational Benefits incorporated into the class and all are suitable for the mature 7th-8th grader and ideal for the High School student. In addition, you will have access to me. You can ask questions via email or you can find me on Facebook at Allie Gillies. I have an array of free resources I can offer you and answer questions you may have. Years of homeschooling help me, help you.

I am so grateful to have, last month, hired Allie Gillies as my research assistant. One thing I have always done in my business is pay attention to the energy of people, what’s occurring, and what I perceive for the future. This allows me to change course as needed and I’m grateful to have hired someone who is able to do the same.
The World War II Research and Writing Center, where we Find the Answers to your military research questions and family stories, is now offering holistic healing facilitation services.
Last week I gave four talks at the RootsTech genealogy conference in Salt Lake City. My Dutch husband, Johan, attended with me in his WWII 101st Airborne re-enactor uniform. The conference experience was intense and amazing. We received so many comments, heard so many stories as people tried hard to contain their emotions, learned new things, and opened space for people who told us they too communicate with the other side or know the healing power of this research.
