Laurel

I highly recommend Aimee's Coaching. I have a very difficult line to work on. Aimee helped me with strategy and was an excellent source of information on many resources I could use. She is willing to answer the silliest questions or tackle the most challenging problems. Aimee is an all around gem!

Lynn

I had no idea who to hire. I had seen Aimee Cross on YouTube many times and she was down to earth and made things really easy to understand. She took complete control like the professional she is.

I have nothing but great things to say about Aimee and hope one day to be able to work with her again. She is a great Genealogist and person.

Mike

This "ANCESTRY.COM GUIDE 2024" is extremely helpful and provides an understanding of the many features of the site. Most of us "learn by doing" so I keep this guide open to use as a reference as I do my research or build a tree. Normally I prefer a book that I can hold in my hands BUT this document can be easily referenced as I use Ancestry.com on my laptop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions answered.

I know little about my family. Can I find my ancestors?

YES! You can! There are many records that are public information that can help you build your family tree. When roadblocks occur, you can turn to DNA testing for help.

I descend from enslaved individuals. I've been told I will never figure out my family tree. Is it impossible?

It is difficult to find the records of those previously enslaved, but it is not always impossible. When you discover things like your enslaved ancestor scrimped and bought their own land, the sense of pride is tremendous.

Are you an employee of Ancestry.com?

I am not an employee of Ancestry.com. I am frequently included in Beta test groups. I do participate in their affiliate program, as well as other affiliate programs such as Amazon and 23 and Me. These programs provide a small commission if you purchase something through my link, but the cost remains the same for you.

My business name is centered on my goal of helping your discover your ancestors.

What sets your coaching apart?

With over 250 completed projects and over 50 coaching clients, I've been around the genealogy block a bit. I make it a point to get some instruction myself once or twice each week. I work to stay on top of industry changes and advances, as well as new record groups. Additionally, I've been a teacher for decades and love helping someone figure things out step by step. You are in good hands with me.

Are the family trees I see on Ancestry or FamilySearch correct?

Some... there are mistakes in the FamilySearch tree (which is a collaborative tree) and there are incorrect trees in Ancestry. My best advice... verify your family tree yourself! You'll learn much more and know it's as correct as possible.
