Genealogy Curriculum for Homeschooling Families

History Comes Alive Through Your Family Story

What if history wasn't just something your children read about—but something they discovered through the lives of their own ancestors?

Tree Trekkers: Adventures in History Through Genealogy for Homeschooling Families is a one-of-a-kind, project-based curriculum that transforms the study of history into a personal journey of discovery. By combining genealogy with world history, U.S. history, geography, language arts, research skills, cultures, crafts, and more, Tree Trekkers helps families make meaningful connections between the past and their own family story.

Designed primarily for grades K–8 and adaptable for multiple ages, this flexible 32-week program offers nearly 300 pages of engaging lessons, activities, and hands-on learning opportunities. As families journey through time together, they explore immigration stories, ancestral homelands, historical events, inventions, occupations, traditions, and countless other topics—all while building critical thinking skills, empathy, gratitude, resilience, and a deeper understanding of the world around them.

Created by a homeschool parent and lifelong genealogy enthusiast, Tree Trekkers provides enough structure to guide your journey while remaining flexible enough to fit your family's unique interests, learning styles, and pace. The result is a rich, memorable educational experience that reaches both the heart and the mind.
