Ancestral memories: UW staffer finds surprises when she digs through her family's history

Dena Petersen, Class of 1997, was the subject of a very interesting article written by Nancy Wick of UWeek.org, the UW Faculty and Staff Newspaper.

How far would you go to learn about your ancestors?

* Would you take a nine-month genealogy class?
* Would you learn a new language?
* Would you take trips to a far off country?
* Would you take classes in the history of that country?

Read the lengths to which Dena went to uncover her family history. Ten years after Dena completed the Genealogy and Family History Program she is still hooked and an inspiration to us all.
