KEEP YOUR PAJAMAS ON FOR THIS 10 PM SESSION
Marianne Rasmus, BIFHSGO Program Director, is the guest speaker presenting A Russian Revelation, A family shaped by significant historical events for a Nanaimo Family History Society meeting on Monday, 15 April, starting at 10 pm ET.
“We have all hit our fair share of brick walls while doing family history research, but how about an ‘Iron Curtain’? When Marianne Rasmus began exploring her family history, little was known about her maternal grandmother’s ancestry. Her grandmother had died before Marianne knew to ask her about her childhood, her emigration from Communist Russia in 1926, or how she adjusted to life in Canada. Starting with a handful of names, Marianne will reveal the process and sources used to discover a deep maternal heritage about which she knew little, and the circumstances which made it challenging to learn.
Marianne will share how historical events in both Canada and Europe affected her grandmother in a life-altering fashion, and how perseverance and a little DNA shed light on long-unanswered questions.”
