Prior to 2021, for many years I regularly hosted gatherings like this through the WWII Research and Writing Center, to help researchers move forward, network, and learn about new resources.
In the age of AI, social media, and other online support, sometimes it's nice to meet 'face to face'. In person or on Zoom meeting, to discuss military research, writing, and war trauma issues we face in our projects.
Join us on Zoom Meeting to discuss your World War I and World War II research and writing projects and meet other researchers. We may even hit some Korea and Vietnam topics, war trauma, and generational trauma healing as needed.
This is not a general presentation. It’s active, community building with research & writing support. Attendance live on Zoom is strongly encouraged. The meeting will not be recorded.

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.
