I retired in 2024. My working career included serving as the Executive Director of the Mennonite Heritage Museum in Abbotsford, British Columbia from 2014 to 2024. Before that I worked in two Mennonite colleges as a theological librarian. I have been interested in Mennonite genealogy, particularly the Dutch-Polish/Prussian-Russian side of Mennonite history, for many years. I started and still maintain the Mennonite Genealogical Resources website (www.mennonitegenealogy.com), have been a contributor to the GRANDMA database for many years, and have been involved with GAMEO (Global Anabaptist Mennonite Encyclopedia Online) for over 20 years.

At this stage of my life I don't have time to visit cemeteries on a regular basis, but I love making connections between people on Find A Grave and filling out missing information.

I am a regular (okay, daily) contributor to the GRANDMA database, so if you would like to correct any errors or add additional information to the GRANDMA database, let me know and I will see what I can do for you.
