Navigating Army Morning Reports Can Be Easier Than You Think
See available dates below.
Army Morning Reports are one of the most important records you need to obtain to reconstruct an Army or Army Air Force WWII Veteran's service. Some of these are digitized on NARA Catalog but are challenging to search.
During this 60-minute small group coaching session on Zoom Meeting, I will:
- Explain what Morning Reports are and why they are so valuable.
- Show you how they can reconstruct a veteran's footsteps.
- Show you how to begin a search on NARA Catalog.
- Walk you through the specific way to find your soldier or airman.
- Show you how to find every month's unit reports.
- Discuss various ways to search these reports to find what you need.
- Explain how to obtain 1945 and 1946 reports.
This is not a general presentation. It’s active, personalized research support. Attendance live on Zoom is strongly encouraged.
Testimonials
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.

Jennifer Holik
More than 10 years ago, I developed a 2-part military research strategy that makes it possible to discover the story of any veteran from WWI through Vietnam — even if the records burned. This grew out of a journey I began nearly 30 years ago, guided by my military ancestors. What started as genealogy quickly expanded into a full military research, writing, and speaking business shared through the WWII Research & Writing Center and later, here at the Ancestral Souls Wisdom School.
My work is rooted in both fact and spirit. I’ve walked battlefields, stood at graves, and listened to the echoes of soldiers and families whose stories still long to be told. Living between Chicago and the Netherlands, I absorbed history, culture, and the weight of inherited war trauma. My own path through PTSD and ancestral healing deepened my ability to see repeating patterns, connect dots across generations, and help others uncover truths hidden beneath silence and loss.
At the Ancestral Souls Wisdom School and WWII Research & Writing Center, I bring together research and soul work, helping you not only recover your family’s military history but also transform the patterns and pain it left behind. This is where history, healing, and story meet.
