Stop drowning in papers, scattered downloads, and forgotten sources. Learn a proven system to organize your military research, build a clear timeline of service, and track everything you find—so you can finally tell the story.
The Problem
You’ve spent hours—maybe years—collecting records, photos, and notes. But right now:
- Papers are stacked in piles or boxes
- Digital files are scattered across folders (or worse… your desktop)
- You’re not sure what you actually have so you duplicate effort
- You want to hire a researcher to help but you can't clearly define what you need
- You don’t know what’s missing
- And trying to write the story feels overwhelming
This isn’t a research problem. It’s an organization problem.
The Solution
In this small group coaching, you’ll learn a simple, repeatable system to organize both paper and digital military research—so everything is easy to find, understand, and use.
You’ll walk away with:
- A workbook with tools and tips
- A clear filing system (paper + digital)
- A structured research workflow
- A service timeline you can build on
- An Excel tracking system to manage your documents
- Confidence in what you have—and what to find next
- Answers to your organizational questions
- A replay you can download after the event
This is not a general presentation. It’s active, personalized research support. Attendance live on Zoom is strongly encouraged.
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.
