Calgary records search

The Alberta Family Histories Society is pleased to offer a records search from the specified Calgary resources where appropriate.

 

The Society will strategically search up to five individual resources from the following list for the persons/families you submit:

 

• Calgary Henderson Directories, 1909-1991
• Calgary voter's lists 1912-1971
• Calgary telephone directories 1903 to present
• burial records for Calgary cemeteries
• Alberta Surname Index (350,000 names, primarily from cemetery data)
• AFHS recorded cemeteries
• Alberta local histories
• 1901 census index (Alberta Territory)
• Alberta vital records index 1883-1905
• suggestions for further research may also be made

 

This service is available for $15.00 for the first name and $10.00 for each additional name requested at the same time. You will receive an e-mailed report of the sources searched and any information resulting from the search. If you wish to have items that are found to be scanned and emailed or photocopied and mailed, there will be an additional $1 charge per item.

 

Exact cost of the service will be identified by the volunteer, after whch you can proceed wih one of four payment options.

 

The mission of AFHS is, in part, to assist and encourage others in family history research. We will not undertake searches for adoptees, birth parents, or living persons. These are delicate and specialized areas that require professional assistance. We recommend consulting the AFHS members who have a commercial service, or contracting a private detective to assist you in this kind of search.
