Can't make November?December cohort · Thu, Dec 10 · $400 · opens Nov 18
Your seat is confirmed when you pay. Session times are confirmed before each cohort starts.
In four weeks, your family builds its citizenship tree, confirms its qualifying ancestor, organizes its evidence gaps, starts its priority record requests, and leaves with a plan for moving forward.
A preparation program, not a guarantee of government approval.
Why a cohort
Do it right once.
For family leads who would rather do it right once than pay a firm thousands to do it for them. A set path, a fixed date each week, and people working the same country track.
01
Don't waste time.
One session a week with a set agenda, so every hour moves your case. Questions stay on the week's step.
02
Don't make mistakes.
Know which form of each record your country accepts (certified, long-form, apostilled or not) before you order it.
03
Don't overpay.
Firms charge thousands and still need you to chase the records. A Pioneer seat is $250, and records are paid per document.
Session plan
From family story to a plan you can act on.
The same four steps for both countries, each on its own day and under its own rules. Every session is live, 60 minutes, and recorded the same night.

Birth Record Guarantee
If we can't help you locate and order your qualifying ancestor's birth record during the cohort, you get a full refund.
After the four weeks
The course ends. The room doesn't.
Keep the people and tools that helped you prepare your claim, while records arrive and your application moves.
The kind of thing the room is for
Written examples, not member quotes.
“Cork is quoting eleven weeks right now, not six. Order yours today.”
“The DFA asked me for a document that isn't on any checklist. Here's what it was.”
“Quebec bounced my request for a missing relationship page. Here's the page.”
Is this your room?
Built for the family lead ready to file.
This is for you if…
→You're the one in your family driving the citizenship claim
→Ireland: you have an Irish-born grandparent. Canada: a Canadian-born parent or grandparent
→You know your qualifying ancestor's name, and roughly when and where they were born
→You don't want to waste time, make mistakes, or overpay
Probably not a fit if…
→You're not yet sure which country you qualify for
→You want someone to do the whole thing for you while you watch
→You can't make the live sessions or do the work between them
→You're here for genealogy as a hobby, not a filed application
A few questions
Good to know before you join.
No. You need to know who your qualifying ancestor is and roughly when and where they were born. Getting the documents is what the cohort is for. Bring what you have and what is missing so your records plan starts on day one.
Every session is recorded and posted the same night. Use the recording to catch up before the next working session.
We work on your records plan and the applicable online application steps. Missing records and government processing can take longer than four weeks, so you leave with a follow-through checklist. Government approval is not promised.
No. New York State and New York City restrict birth records that aren't old enough to be public, but descendants can obtain them by court order. PetitionKit walks you through preparing and filing that petition.
Quebec's Directeur de l'état civil only releases records to people with a proven relationship, and the request has to be made a specific way. Session 3 of the Canada track is built around exactly that.
Each seat is for one named person. Relatives keep their own eligibility and purchases; your case information can still be organized together.
Two guarantees. First, the 7-day money-back guarantee: change your mind within 7 days of joining and you get a full refund. Second, the Birth Record Guarantee: if we can't help you locate and order your qualifying ancestor's birth record during the cohort, you get a full refund. If the only remaining path is a paid genealogist or a court petition and you decline it, the Birth Record Guarantee doesn't apply.
The December cohorts start Wednesday, December 9 for Ireland and Thursday, December 10 for Canada, at $400. Payment opens the day each Pioneer cohort starts.
You can. Firms charge thousands and still need you to supply the family facts and chase the records. Heritage Circle teaches you to do it right once, with the tools, and you keep the platform.
Pioneer cohort
25 seats per country at $250. Then it's $400.
Pioneer pricing ends when each cohort starts: Tuesday, November 17 for Ireland and Wednesday, November 18 for Canada. First come, first served.
