Genealogy

I am an amateur genealogist located in Alberta, Canada. I have been researching my family history for more than 25 years. I have compiled an extensive family tree, though it’s an ongoing effort to ensure everything is sourced properly. It was fun to find out that there is Native American blood on my mother’s side; it’s something that was rarely discussed by the family. Family members can sign up, browse, and contribute to the family tree at Genealogy from [Pedersen-Lapointe].

I love introducing people to genealogy and would be pleased to help you get started.

My goal for 2021 is to be published in one of the local genealogical societies’ newsletter.

I am a member of:

• the Alberta Genealogical Society and its Edmonton branch
• the National Genealogical Society

Planned training:

• Life of Our Ancestors via The National Institute for Genealogical Studies (spring 2021)
