Plan your inspired-inspired trip of a lifetime with Ancestry Travel Advisor
Sonja from My Ancestor’s Journey!
COMING SOON IN FEBRUARY 2026:
The Germany Trip Planning Masterclass Online Course
Imagine you could walk the same paths that your ancestors used to walk on, touch the same baptismal font they once touched, or enjoy eating the comfort food your German grandmother used to make. All of this is possible if you travel to Germany in person!
But at the beginning of every ancestry-inspired trip comes the planning. And the planning stage can be very overwhelming. So in my new online course, I will guide you along the process of planning an ancestry-inspired trip (which differs quite a lot from a “normal” vacation to Germany) step by step.
For 12 months, you will have access to video tutorials, monthly live calls on Zoom and a private participant group with other likeminded ancestry travelers. So you can ask all your questions and be sure not to forget anything important!
BUT: This course only opens for a brief period at certain times a year. To not miss the next opening date, join the non-binding, 0 Dollar Waiting List today and be among the first to get notified once the next class will start!
There is no commitment to buy the course later on. But if you do, there is an exclusive $300 off discount + special template bonus only available to those who were on the waiting list!
