Welcome to Wetaskiwin!
Our Branch promotes and encourages our members to search for family history by providing meetings that offer an exchange of information and open group discussion, a library collection that contains print and electronic resources, and events for continuing education where professionals and experienced speakers present the "how’s" and "wheres" of genealogical research. Come and join us!
