Welcome to the Daku family page...


I began this page to hopefully use it to further one of my hobbies - genealogy.  I also have hoped that it would be an avenue to communicate family news.  These first two links are dedicated to the "family" part.

'One life stamps and influences another,
which in turn stamps and influences another, on and on,
until the soul of human experiences breathes on in generations we'll never even meet.'

-Mary Kay Blakely

I have been doing family genealogy research for over a decade and still find pleasure in solving a puzzle or finding a new relative.  I also have made many friends through my historical research of Saskatchewan and have been cited as researcher on several projects.


Some other things of Genealogical Interest:
Books and Databases for "Look ups"
Bekevar Presbyterian Cemetery, Bekevar, Saskatchewan


I'm interested in historical stories involving the following:
- Canadian History - most particularly pertaining to the prairies or Ontario.
-  Interesting anecdotes of pioneer life on the prairies
- Irish History
- Hungarian History
- Scottish History
- Danish History
