Welcome to
Alberta Family Histories
Society
Alberta Family Histories Society (AFHS) welcomes anyone interested in genealogy and family history! If you are particularly interested in the Calgary and southern Alberta region, we have substantial resources you’ll find nowhere else (not even on the Internet!). Beyond that, we can help you research your roots in Canada and many parts of the world.
Have you hit a brick wall in your research, or want to meet other like-minded people? For more than 40 years, we have been helping people like you grow their family trees and discover the stories of their roots. Our library in northwest Calgary is open to the public. Come find out more from our welcoming volunteers!
