Uncover the Stories They Never Told.
Solve the Mysteries They Left Behind.
Your ancestors left clues to their lives—in records, photographs, maps, and family stories. These aren't just facts to collect; they're genealogical codes waiting to be cracked by a skilled ancestral detective.
Every family tree has its secrets - vanishing ancestors, unexplained migrations, hidden relationships, and untold stories. These aren't just gaps in your family history research—they're doorways to the most fascinating aspects of your family's heritage.
The Frustration of Family History Brick Walls
You've spent hours searching for your ancestors. You've collected names, dates, and places. But the real stories—the ones that tell you who these people actually were—remain tantalizingly out of reach in your genealogical research.
Every family researcher encounters these frustrating genealogy mysteries:
The Vanishing Ancestor who seems to disappear from all historical records
The Cryptic Photograph filled with genealogical clues you can't quite decipher
The Puzzling Migration that took your family across countries for reasons unknown
The Conflicting Records that tell different stories about the same person
The Family Secret that everyone hints at but no one explains
These aren't just brick walls in your family tree research—they're opportunities for discovery.
But only if you know how to unlock them with proper historical research techniques.
Ancestors who vanish from records, photographs that hide their secrets,
and migration stories lost to time.
The heartbreaking frustration of family history research when the trail goes cold.
Stop collecting empty facts.
Start solving family mysteries.

Your course instructor:
I've spent decades uncovering the stories that history tried to forget - from dusty archives to forgotten battlefields to ancestral homelands across the globe.
Through my work as a war historian and genealogist, I've developed the Heritage Hunting Method—a unique approach that goes beyond collecting facts to revealing the complex lives your ancestors actually lived.
ENIGMA gives you a powerful taste of my investigative approach before the full Heritage Hunting Method program launches later this year.
