Honoring our ancestors

Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak (yes, that's her real name), author of Honoring Our Ancestors: Inspiring Stories of the Quest for Our Roots, In Search of Our Ancestors: 101 Inspiring Stories of Serendipity and Connection in Rediscovering Our Family History, and They Came to America: Finding Your Immigrant Ancestors, has been an avid genealogist for 30 years and is skilled in many aspects of family history research.

As lead researcher for the PBS Ancestors series, she delved into over 5,000 genealogical stories and developed much of the content for the companion website. Similarly, she did most of the research for PBS's They Came to America. Since 2000, Megan has also been a consultant with the U.S. Army's Repatriation project to trace families of servicemen killed or MIA in Korea and Vietnam. The intent is to develop a DNA-database from relatives' blood samples so that the remains that are now being repatriated can be identified and interred. She has supported this and many other genealogical initiatives through her Honoring Our Ancestors Grants Program.
