About Me

Mennonite Genealogy with Michael Penner

About me

I became interested in family history, quite by accident, during an Easter family gathering some years ago. A casual conversation about my Russian Mennonite great-grandparents with an elderly relative piqued my interest. The stories were intriguing, and soon I found myself phoning her from my home in British Columbia to inquire further.

Those early inquiries have developed into a passion for preserving my heritage.

My church family is Richmond Bethel Church of Richmond, British Columbia.
