Charles Denney Collection/Métis Family History

The Denney Collection is an invaluable resource for anyone researching their Métis family history in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, whether your interest is personal or in registering with the Métis Nation of Alberta.  There is also some limited coverage of Métis families in the NWT, BC and Northern Ontario.

The Collection consists of genealogical information on 1,200 families who descend from the original Red River Settlers and the Métis families that developed during the Prairie fur trade era.

A founding member of the Alberta Genealogical Society, Charles Denney researched and transcribed thousands of birth, marriage, death and Scrip records of Métis  people of the Prairies and from these records he compiled more than 1,200 family trees. Mr. Denney also collected newspaper articles and announcements on the Métis  families he had researched.

The Collection of transcribed vital records, family trees, Scrip information and newspaper clippings is housed in more than 400 binders in the Library but is indexed by surname so is easily searched.

Anyone interested in researching their Métis family history using the Denney Collection is welcome at the Library during regular opening days. Our Library Volunteers will be happy to help you get started and you may make copies of any of the documents in the collection. Fees may apply.
