A blessing in every way
"I entered the program for personal reasons, wanting to further my ancestry. But in my first year of BYU-Pathway I started taking on clients. Eventually the clients poured in and I was able to get out of my regular job because being a professional forensic genealogist actually paid more."

Exactly what I was looking for
"When I obtained my associate degree in Family History Research, I was immediately offered a promotion that increased my responsibilities. The promotion jumped me two pay scales and significantly improved my income. The Lord has strengthened me to reach my educational goals."

Hope for a better future
“I once lacked confidence with my education because I dropped out of school in Pakistan. Now I am able to help others in the Church in family history to find their ancestors and guide them to do this sacred work. I don't think I could find any other program that could have the same impact in my life like BYU-Pathway. One of the wonderful things that BYU-Pathway offers is education opportunities for those who have little hope for education and a better future.”
