A listing of Church Archives is available through the University of Saskatchewan's web site. Those records of prime interest to Alberta genealogists are parish registers showing baptisms, confirmations, marriages and burials from the Dioceses of Athabasca, Edmonton, and Mackenzie River . The records of residential schools in the Athabasca Diocese are temporarily closed. Records of the Diocese of Mackenzie River have many Inuit and Dene names and date back to 1859. Those from Athabasca and Edmonton date back to 1875 and 1893 respectively.
Transcripts are available for a small fee.
Please contact Dr. Claude Roberto. The records of the Anglican Diocese of Calgary are held in the special collections Library of the University of Calgary. Indian residential school records contain admittance and daily attendance registers which record the age and the parents of the pupils. They are in French. A knowledge of that language is essential.
