I simplify advanced genealogy research concepts so you can chase down your elusive ancestors quickly and confidently. So if you’re a dedicated genealogist looking to up-level your research skills, you’re in the right place.

Genealogy In Action provides action-based education so you can actually make progress on your genealogy projects. You'll be inspired to take action, because without action, there's no progress; and without progress, there's no solving those long-standing family history mysteries.

NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Julie Cahill Tarr, AG

I believe that research planning and skill-building are the keys to success in genealogy. I created Genealogy In Action because I want to provide education designed to help you grow your skills AND make progress at the same time, thus solving even the toughest genealogy problems.

The methods I teach have been refined over several years of working on my own genealogy as well as helping clients. I want to share these methods with you so you can quickly and easily get to a stage of effective and efficient research. My methods are easy to follow and allow for flexibility so you can modify them to suit your research style (this is what my students LOVE!).

I've been a part of the genealogy community for more than 15 years, and I love helping other genealogists take their skills to the next level. If your ready, I'd love to help you up-level your genealogy skills too!

P.S. I like both cats and dogs equally, am addicted to chocolate, and make a killer mac 'n' cheese.
