FAMILY HISTORIAN
Learn to uncover the stories hidden in the records.
Practical online genealogy courses designed to give you the methods, confidence and historical curiosity to research your own family.
← Return to the homepageFrom curious beginner to confident family historian.
My courses turn genealogy into a structured journey. Instead of wondering where to search next, you learn how to build a research question, evaluate evidence, organise discoveries and turn them into a family story.
The lessons are online, so you can work through the material from home and return to it when your research needs it.
Research. Understand. Preserve.
Good genealogy is not about collecting the largest possible tree. It is about knowing why you believe a relationship is correct, understanding the lives behind the records and preserving your conclusions so another generation can follow the evidence.
Build strong research habits from the beginning.
Start with evidence
Define research questions, work from known facts and avoid copying unsupported family trees.
Search archives
Learn efficient strategies for finding records across digital collections and genealogical databases.
Evaluate sources
Compare records, resolve contradictions and understand the difference between evidence and assumption.
Break brick walls
Use timelines, clusters, geography and alternative sources when the obvious search stops working.
Organise research
Keep files, citations, notes and conclusions understandable and retrievable as your tree grows.
Tell the story
Add historical context and transform names and dates into a legacy your family can actually read.
More ways to deepen your research.
Future course material will explore subjects such as DNA genealogy, historical context, archival research, document interpretation and digital preservation.
The aim is to create a growing learning library that supports you at every stage of your family-history journey.
