Are you interested in visiting your ancestral home? Here’s on hiring a genealogist to help and genealogy research strategies to prepare.

With COVID finally cooling off – genealogy travel is possible! Repositories have opened up! Have you dreamed of visiting your ancestral home? Do you need tips for effective genealogy research trips? Have you hit a genealogy brick wall and need to visit the locations your ancestors lived to find more records and solve family history mysteries?

There are two sorts of different family history trips one might make but each takes time and careful planning: one for a die hard researcher looking for records or one for someone who's not into genealogy research, but wants to visit their ancestral home.

🙋‍♀️ ABOUT ME:
Learning about your ancestors is fun! It’s detective work at its best. Discovering those who came before you is a treasure hunt with great rewards! My professional genealogy business, Ancestry Consulting by Aimee, and my You Tube channel were born out of a desire to help others discover their family history. I have been working on my genealogy since a teenager and have been helping others as a professional genealogist for almost 10 years. Whether breaking through a genealogy brick wall, determining parentage through DNA matches, beginning genealogy research, or discovering your family origins, I want to help you build your family tree! While I specialize in United States genealogy, these videos outline research methods which will help you research your family history anywhere. Happy hunting!
