#1 in Amazon New Releases!

Hello Reader!

I can't believe what just happened.

Colonial Pennsylvania Genealogy Research hit #1 in New Releases on Amazon.

That’s because of you. Every purchase, every share with a research buddy, every message telling me this was the book you’d been waiting for — that’s what put it there. Thank you!!!

One reader wrote back after my first email:

“I’ve learned so much from your podcasts and was finally able to blast through a brick wall I’ve been chipping away at for 30 years.” — Lori N.

If you haven't grabbed your copy yet, I've attached a free preview — the first 2 chapters so you can see exactly what's inside before you buy. Download it here:

​Colonial Pennsylvania Genealogy Research BOOK PREVIEW.pdf​

If you already have the book, I'd be grateful if you'd leave a review on Amazon. Reviews are how other Pennsylvania researchers find it. Even two sentences makes a difference.

I’m hosting a free live walkthrough for everyone who bought the book. I’ll show you how I use it in my own research — how to find the right chapter for your ancestor’s community, how to work through the record types systematically, and how to handle the moments when one source leads to three more.

Live Book Walkthrough + Q&A

Date: Friday, March 20th

Time: 2:30pm Eastern

Where: Zoom (link sent after you register)

This is just for buyers. Bring your research questions — I’ll answer as many as I can live.

Thank you again for supporting this work. It feels good to know that the hundreds of hours I put into it were appreciated!

Let’s discover your Pennsylvania ancestors.
