Small group discovers their family roots at local library

A cozy group gathered at the Metro Kalyn Community Library on Jan. 16 to take advantage of the first of three free sessions helping people discover their family roots.

Bruderheim resident Dana Aiken, who has spent more than 30 years tracing her own roots, was happy to organize a free three-session program, at the Metro Kalyn Community Library, to help others do the same.

Aiken, who primarily uses Ancestry.ca, notes that patience and diligence are what is required for a successful genealogy search. 

“It’s not as easy as some might think,” she said. “It’s a lot of detective work using the process of elimination. What I am trying to do is get people pointed in the right direction.”

Aiken also believes it’s important for people to know where they came from.

“I think the stories are important. The further back you go the more stories you will find,” she said. “It’s something I am very passionate about so if people want to learn, I am there.”

MKCL board member Pat Grichen, who was adopted, also spent some time researching her family history. Knowing Dana’s penchant for genealogy, Grichen knew she would be a big help.

“I’ve been doing my own genealogy for about 10 years. Last year, through the help of DNA and Dana, I was able to find my mother and father who are no longer with us and five half sisters,” she said. 

Grichen added that she was able to make contact with her half sisters and produced a photo book to commemorate the experience.
