Published in cooperation with the Provincial Archives. The book may list a date and year for a birth, Immigration, Naturalization,and notice of death. Not every name has this info but alot do...then it gives you the exact document number that you would need to order a copy of the document.Some of them also list a nationality beside the type of certificate. > Very neat book, so if anyone is needing something looked up please let me know and I will send you info if its in the book. There are literally thousands of names in here. > > The second book is the "Index to Birth, Marriage, and Death Registrations PRIOR to 1900. This book lists the surname, the associated name (if there is one), the event/date, place of registry. This book is even twice the size of the other. First one is 208 pages and second is 447, so there are lots of names in here. > > I will only have this for a short while and meantime am going to look into purchasing my own. Please get back to me if you need a lookup. > > Take care everyone, > Elaine in Alberta, Canada > > > ==== ALBERTA Mailing List ==== > Do not send attachments (attached files) of any sort to the mailing > list.
