Small Group Coaching
World War II research is unlike any other era. Records are scattered across multiple platforms, service branches, and agencies. Many families know where their veteran servedâbut not how to move beyond basic enlistment details into meaningful understanding.
This 90-minute group coaching session is designed for genealogy societies, WWII research groups, and serious researchers who want clear guidance, trusted resources, and expert supportâwithout wasting years clicking in the wrong places.
60-Minute Private Coaching Session
Webinars are great if you are seeking general military research knowledge, but they rarely provide the personalized answers you need for your unique military research and writing journey. Every family story, every archive search, and every project comes with its own set of challengesâand webinars simply canât address all the roadblocks youâll encounter along the way. Thatâs why so many people leave these sessions inspired, but still stuck.
Coaching changes that.
