I'm currently working on Volume 5 in this series which will cover everything else FamilySearch has to offer. It will be finished in the next few weeks. Catch up on the first 4 volumes of this series for just $59! Take the learning curve out of FamilySearch and jump right in as a skilled user.

Episode 2 of my new series The Formidable Genealogist Studio drops at 5pm central on Sunday. Looks like I'm able to post longer videos here, too, so you can catch them across Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. This one clocks in at just 10 minutes where I talk about becoming a professional genealogist.

Just like my reels, these aren't scripted and polished. I just wing it. 🙂

I have a lot of cool ideas in the works with this new ADHD side quest I've started. 😁

Welcome to Episode 1 of The Formidable Genealogist Studio where I do a deeper dive into topics beyond my usual short reels.

Episode 1: Your Learning Era
2 April 2026

What options exist for furthering your genealogy education? Are there structured learning opportunities? Self-paced learning opportunities? I go through some of your options to refine your skills and keep on learning.

If you don't catch some of the websites listed in the video, you can always google the acronym plus the word genealogy to get right to it. Like "GRIP genealogy" or "GenFed genealogy," etc.
