Trouvay

Listen. Learn. Love.
This is how we move forward as a people.

Last week, our founder, Bradley Pierson, met with the Minister for Women and Gender Equality, Rechie Valdez, alongside other entrepreneurs in the Edmonton area.

She listened to how Trouvay is supporting the effort to bring home Missing and Murdered Relatives across the country.

And she heard us when we asked to connect with more ministries to make this groundbreaking technology more accessible.

This is how we move forward as a people.
Listen. Learn. Love.

When we find our families, we find ourselves.

Over the past month, we've met 3 people, all searching for lost family members who disappeared.

These new friends shared that siblings, uncles, and aunties died at the Indian Hospitals, and their families were left without answers.

Unsure of what happened and where they were now.

We found 6 of these missing relatives by digging into the Alberta Death Records (1870-1976) at the Provincial Archives of Alberta, and watched as grieving hearts slowly found some peace.

Finding our families and knowing the truth changes lives.

This is one part of what truth and reconciliation looks like.

Stay tuned to hear more about these stories that are still unravelling! 🤍

Residential school researchers change lives & communities daily.

These beautiful friends shared stories of digging through thousands of documents, reconnecting separated families, and finding the children who never came home. Together we explored how genealogy can help find truth.
