A guided New Year’s Eve research session to help you focus, plan, and move forward with confidence.
New Year’s Eve doesn’t have to be loud, sparkly, or exhausting. This year, you’re invited to do something much more rewarding: organize your genealogy research so it’s focused, well-structured, and ready to move forward.
The Rockin’ New Year’s Eve Research Party is an informal, stress-free genealogy session designed for family historians who want to end the year intentionally and start the new one with momentum. This isn’t a lecture. It’s not a challenge that overwhelms you with tasks. And it’s certainly not a repeat of earlier planning exercises.
Instead, this event allows you to pause, reflect, and make smart decisions about where your research is headed next by leveraging what you already know, what you have already gathered, and what still needs attention.
You’ll be guided step-by-step through a structured research reset that turns loose ends into actionable next steps. By the time the clock strikes midnight (or close enough), you’ll have a clear research anchor for January and beyond.
Here’s what you’ll learn and benefit from:
- How to identify the ONE research focus that matters most right now
No more scattered to-do lists or guilt over unfinished lines. - How to assess what you already have and what’s actually missing
Learn to spot true research gaps instead of chasing new records blindly. - How to turn unresolved questions into clear, testable research goals
Move from “I should work on this” to “Here’s my next logical step.” - How to create a realistic, flexible research plan for January
One that fits your life, energy, and available time. - How to carry momentum forward with a Research Anchor summary
You’ll leave with a written reference you can return to whenever you feel stuck.
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned researcher, this New Year’s Eve event offers something rare: calm, clarity, and confidence in your genealogy journey.
Start the New Year knowing exactly where you’re going in your family history and why.
