Projectkin Live: War and Healing with Jennifer Holik & Mission: Genealogy Q&A

Thank you so much for joining us from across the Americas, Bill Moore, Linda Teather, Kathy Stone, Dr. Mary M. Marshall, DearMYRTLE, Lori Olson White, and out into the Pacific, Jane Chapman, Jennifer Jones, and Diane the FH Bowerbird, and so many of you whose names flew by faster than I could thank. Truly, it was lovely seeing you join us. As we step into June, we’re doing so with an eye to remembrances. We had our Memorial Day in the US last week, and earlier in May came the WWII celebrations for VE Day eighty years ago in 1945. Today we highlighted both Tuesday’s “Office Hours” program for Mission: Genealogy, and a special program on Thursday for Projectkin. Since many of us have direct ancestors who were involved in military combat during WWII, I asked Jennifer Holik to speak to us in a special program for Projectkin on Thursday, titled “War Stories and Healing Paths with Jennifer Holik.” As my special guest today, Jennifer shared a little of what led her into her specialized research work in military history, and some of the books she’s written. She shared a little about some of her books about military research, like her four-part series, “Stories from the WWII Battlefield” and “The Tiger’s Widow.” You’ll find all of her books on her site, Ancestral Souls Wisdom School. I hope you can join us on Thursday. Meanwhile, if this is all new to you, take a moment to explore the Projectkin publication, our event recordings, and join us for an upcoming event.

Oh, and if you find navigating around Substack a challenge, why not join fellow family historians and genealogists in our regular events for Mission: Genealogy. It’s a publication and community here on Substack dedicated to simply helping each other get the most from the platform. Coming up this week is our monthly Office Hours and Q&A session. Come as you are and bring your questions. We’ll see if we can’t help each other. Learn more and register here. View recordings of past episodes here.
