Inside Chronicle Makers
Chronicle Makers is where family historians finish writing their ancestors' stories — together, with AI, with real records.
Finish the stories your research started.
Chronicle Makers is where family historians stop collecting and start finishing — together, with AI, on real records. One membership. A finished chronicle every quarter.
What you'll get in the community
You'll finally finish. Four times a year you join a 10-Day Sprint and walk out with a complete, readable story about one ancestor. Not an outline. Finished. 95% of people who start a Sprint, finish it — no other genealogy program publishes a number like that, because measuring it would change what they teach.
You'll know you have enough. The overwhelm ends. You'll learn to look at the research you already have and see the story you can write now — instead of waiting for a "someday" that never comes.
You won't do it alone. Weekly live sessions, feedback when you're stuck, and a room full of people finishing alongside you. The accountability is the part members say keeps them going.
You'll use AI like a pro. Transcribe documents in minutes, pull historical context instantly, draft from your own facts — with every decision still yours. Taught inside the work, never as a separate course to slog through.
You'll build a body of work. One chronicle becomes two, then three. When you're ready to turn them into a book, there's a path for that too.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the community live? Inside Skool, at skool.com/chronicle-makers. You'll set up a Skool account (takes 2 minutes). Everything — the courses, the videos, recordings, the community — lives there.
What if I'm not a tech person? The Technology Essentials exists specifically for this. If you can type a sentence into Google, you are off to a good start.
What's the 10-Day Chronicle Writing Sprint? It's the structured writing experience with daily modules, community accountability, and a 95% completion rate. Members say it's the course that finally made them finish writing and share it with family.
Is this for beginners or experienced researchers? Both. Chronicle Makers is for you to write and share the research you have. Number of years experience as a genealogist does not matter. We have a research quality check before you write so you are confident going in.
If I can't make the live sessions, are there recordings? Every live session is recorded. Every session has one clear task. Nobody sits through a lecture. You work on your writing about your ancestors and you learn AI for the work you are doing. Plus you get access to the full library of past recordings when you join.
What does it cost? One price for the year — four Sprints, the finishing community, and AI learning, all included. One price, no monthly tier, no free version. The price rises as the community grows, so the rate you join at is the best you'll see.
Do I buy each Writing Sprint separately? No. The four Sprints are built into your membership. You join the year; the Sprints run inside it.
What about the book course? The Chronicle Book Method is a separate add-on for when you're ready to turn your finished chronicles into a book. Stories first; the book comes after.
This is the place where family historians finish what they started and they do it together, with AI, on actual records.
This is the working community for people who want to write their family's stories, not collect more research. Live sessions every week. Recorded library you keep as long as you're a member. Named methods and frameworks that travel with you once you learn them. AI competency you develop and take with you.
What it costs to join
A Year of Chronicles is $497 for the year. One price, one membership — four Sprints, the finishing community, and AI learning all year. Everyone here is focused on working and will be your fellow travelers through your time here.
