Hi, I’m Lisa!
I started researching my ancestors 12 years ago and quickly got stuck on the some of the female lines in my family tree.. I found myself with no idea what records to search or how to them hidden in the records I had.
I buckled down and studied my female ancestors and the records where they might appear. After years of research, I now know how to create my own female ancestor research plan. I know where to look and how to find the needed resources. Do I always find every female ancestor? Well, no, not always, but I am assured I’ve completed and documented an exhaustive search of the available records.
Having gained the confidence in genealogy research skills and performing exhaustive researches, I want to help others discover the women in their family tree.
In each genealogy session I will show you how to tackle an aspect of brick wall genealogy research so that you can confidently fill out your family tree, complete that lineage society application or more completely tell your ancestor’s story!
Save hours of research time and frustration and sharpen your genealogy research skills!
Here’s How It Works:
WHAT is a Genealogy Cruise?
A genealogy cruise is an opportunity to experience a cruise vacation while also having the opportunity to learn more about researching your genealogy. Really, it’s the best of both worlds.
WHEN is the Cruise?
The Genealogy Cruise will be 20 – 27 June 2022 leaving and returning to Seattle, Washington.

All of the genealogy sessions are perfect for the genealogy researcher who:

In these genealogy sessions I will show you how to tackle research into your brick wall ancestors so that you can confidently fill out your family tree, complete that lineage society application or more completely tell your ancestor’s story!
IMPORTANT NOTE: As happens in genealogy research, records do not always survive. The strategies I show will ensure an exhaustive research, but does not guarantee full answers to your ancestors can be found.
