Lianne Kruger started doing genealogy as a child recording names and dates at graveyards. In her teens she went through microfilms looking for names written on a piece of paper. When first married she researched her paternal line back to the first European land owner of Canada. She continues to research her other lines along with DNA research, One-Place and Surname Studies.
Lianne has volunteered with the Alberta Genealogical Society (AGS) as Red Deer Branch’s president, and six years as 1st Vice President of AGS. She is currently Vice President of the Red Deer Branch; and database, website and social media chairs for AGS. She was rewarded two special achievement awards (2015, 2018) and the President award (2020) for her service. She is also a board member and communications director of mitoYDNA and on the advisory board of Ancestry.ca.
For five years Lianne taught the family history course at the Ogden Institute of Religion. She has taught for conferences, seminars and sessions in all over Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario, Canada; Birmingham, UK; RootsTech, Salt Lake City, Utah; FamilyRoots (Utah); online for Surname Name Society (UK); Genealogy with a Canadian Twist, and Virtual Genealogical Society, National Genealogical Society’s OnDemand Conference.
Lianne earned a computer programming degree and has been teaching computer software courses since 1982. She has completed a Bachelor Degree from BYU-Idaho with minor in Family History Research. She loves combining her love of technology, love of teaching and her love of genealogy by teaching ways technology can help genealogists in research, preserving and sharing the research with others.
