Fold3 and NARA Catalog Small Group Coaching

Access Live Guidance for your Research

Wednesday, June 10 at 11:00 a.m. CST

Space is limited to 10 people.

Find the Records. Understand the Story.

Fold3 and NARA Catalog holds millions of WWI and WWII records—but knowing how to locate the right files can feel overwhelming. In this hands-on Live Zoom Meeting, I’ll explain:

What Fold3 has and does not have.
What NARA Catalog can provide - including Army (and Army Air Force) Morning Reports.
Guide you through Fold3 and NARA Catalog so you can confidently search, filter, and discover the records that reveal your veteran’s history.
You’ll learn how to identify key collections, use effective search strategies, decode military language, and track down unit records, Army morning reports, POW files, and more.

Whether you’re just beginning or you’ve hit research roadblocks, this session will help you move from frustration to clarity.

This is a 90-minute live Zoom Group Coaching meeting - specifically for Fold3 and NARA Catalog research.

After registering, you’ll provide details about the veteran you’re researching, what you’ve already found, and where you’re stuck. This allows me to tailor the session to the real challenges in the room.

For more context on what Fold3 provides, please read my article The Myth of Fold3 Military Records.

This is not a general presentation. It’s active, personalized research support. Attendance live on Zoom is strongly encouraged.

A replay will be sent to registrants after the live event.

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.
