Looking for quality digital genealogy downloads? 5 Minute Genealogy was first written in 2006 as "How To Grow Your Family Tree." Then in February 2014 it became a multi media DVD. Given acclaim by Robert MacPhee (Co Author of Chicken Soup for the Soul). Stating that this course "should be in every school in the America. It's good, really good!"

Unfortunately, health challenges took control of my journey, so I just kept visiting it when I had the energy, and it gradually morphed into the eBook/Workbook that it is today.

It's my aim to make a difference to those who want to know how to start to find their family story. Here it is...I'm proud to put my name to it. I hope you find it helpful.

All my digital genealogy downloads can be found at my PayHip shop:

Great advice. Place names have changed and it would be prudent to investigate thoroughly. Comment below if you have had trouble finding your ancestor's place of birth in Germany.

Have German ancestry? To extend your family history across the Atlantic, you must first pinpoint your ancestorโ€™s hometownโ€”knowing only โ€œGermanyโ€ (or even a state) isnโ€™t enough.

In German Phase 1: Identify the German Hometown, Debra A. Hoffman, PLCGS, and Teresa Steinkamp McMillin, CG, will teach you how to uncover that vital piece of information by using U.S. sources and proven research methodology.

๐Ÿ“… Registration closes August 29thโ€”donโ€™t miss your chance to break through the brick wall and find your ancestorโ€™s German roots! https://academy.ugagenealogy.org/courses/german-phase-1-identify-the-german-hometown/

Today Iโ€™m celebrating with my dear friends, Tracey Evans, Leanne Jefferis and Ara Gadd - 50,000 members we now have in the Genealogy Family History Research Ancestry Tips & Tricks. Itโ€™s now in its tenth year and has grown phenomenally in the last 18 months.

Iโ€™ve always wanted to be able to share my vast knowledge with others who want to learn. Itโ€™s not easy (itโ€™s a public group) but I wouldnโ€™t change it for anything!

My moderators have been a fine example of genealogy know how and people skills. I thank them with all my heart! Hereโ€™s to the next 50,000! ๐Ÿพ ๐Ÿฅ‚
