Imagine this...

Imagine this...

You have the names. 

You may even have an ancestral hometown circled on a map.

And somewhere deep down, you already know you want to go.

But then reality shows up. Flights. Trains. Hotels. How long to stay. Where to start. And suddenly that beautiful idea of walking where your ancestors once walked feels… totally overwhelming.

This is where the “24-Step Germany Ancestry Trip Planning Checklist” comes in.

Instead of staring at a blank notebook or juggling twenty browser tabs, you get a clear roadmap.

24 simple steps. Ideally done over 24 days. No rushing. No pressure. Just steady progress.

Each step gives you one clear to-do related to your ancestry trip planning. Something you can jot down in a journal, note on your phone, or scribble down with a cup of coffee next to you.

Nothing complicated. Nothing technical. Just decisions that slowly turn a dream into a real itinerary.

This checklist does not overwhelm you with information. It gently guides you forward, one decision at a time, until your Germany roots trip no longer feels like a “someday” idea but a real journey taking shape.
