Research smarter. Find the WWII Death records. Understand the sacrifice.
Webinar, Thursday, September 10, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. CDT
Researching a WWII death is one of the hardest parts of a family military story. Records can be scattered, incomplete, or hidden behind unfamiliar military language—leaving families with more questions than answers.
What We’ll Cover
In this program, you’ll learn how:
- The job of the American Graves Registration Service (AGRS) and the records they created.
- What the Individual Deceased Personnel File (IDPF) is, why you need it, how to get it, and what it can reveal beyond a death date
- What the X-File is and why you might need it
- Other WWII death and casualty records you may not know exist
- Where these records are held and how to request them
- How to place death records into historical and family context
This session is ideal for researchers, writers, and family historians who want clarity, accuracy, and a deeper understanding of what happened.Â
TestimonialsÂ
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.

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.
