In celebration of Alberta’s 100th Anniversary, the Alberta Genealogical Society has published an every-name index to the homestead files – 685 reels of microfilm worth!
Finding a particular homestead file on these reels used to be a tedious, error-prone, multi-step process, and Provincial Archives of Alberta staff staff spent considerable time guiding researchers through the steps. This new index leads the researcher directly to the reel and file number.
Legacy’s Research Guidance – Have an Alberta ancestor? Legacy’s Research Guidance will now (in the next update) automatically link you to this database for those living in Alberta during 1870-1930.
