Alberta Name Index (ANI)

The Alberta Name Index (ANI) offers a simple unified search for Alberta residents named in various sources including Probates, Local Histories, Obituaries, Coroner Records, Land Records (not early homesteads), Newspapers and more. These indexes are the result of many years of volunteer labour, more genealogy indexes will be added online as they become available!

For family tree researchers the index provides a valuable search for family who lived in Alberta. By using ANI, tracing family history in the province can be rewarding.

The search results will lead you directly to the information needed to locate the original records.

If your family lived in Alberta, this exciting resource may lead you to exciting family tree discoveries.
