🌳 Workshop One - Family Tree Foundations

 Saturday, April 18th - 2 hours
9am (PDT) / 12pm (EDT)

Build a Tree That Lasts

Does this sound familiar? You’re excited to dive into your family history, but the Ancestry interface looks like a cockpit. You see hints and suggestions everywhere, but you’re terrified of clicking the wrong thing and attaching someone else's grandfather to your tree. Or worse, you think you might have already done that.

You want to do this right, but you’re already feeling overwhelmed. The good news? You don’t have to spend years in trial-and-error like I did. You just need a solid foundation from day one.

In this workshop, I’ll guide you through my "Find Your First Fifteen" process. You’ll learn how to navigate historical records with confidence, handle hints like a pro, and ensure that every person you add to your tree actually belongs there. Whether you’re starting from scratch or trying to fix a "messy" tree, this workshop will give you the clarity to move forward with pride.

Make Real DNA Discoveries

You’ve taken the DNA test. You’ve got a long list of thousands of cousin matches. Now what?

With the help of my favorite templates, tools, and real-time case studies, you’ll walk away with the confidence to use DNA as a powerful tool in your family history research — not just a mystery list you keep meaning to figure out.

Whether you’re a beginner just getting started or you’ve been around a while and are looking to go deeper, this workshop will unlock the power of your AncestryDNA results.

• You are looking for expert insights normally reserved for expensive coaching sessions but in a relatable, easy to follow format

You took a DNA test because you sensed there were deeper connections and hidden stories waiting to be found in your results.

This workshop will give you the 'decoder ring' to turn that data into meaningful family connections.

You’ve already invested in the DNA kit and the subscription. In just four hours, this workshop will make those investments pay off and unlock massive discoveries without you having to spend hundreds of hours (like I did) to figure out what it all means.
