History
Charles Douglas Denney founded the Alberta Genealogical Society in 1970.[5] Despite the fact that the Alberta Genealogical Society is a Canadian archive, American genealogists such as Beverly Smith Vorpahl have discussed using AGS resources for genealogical work in the Pacific Northwest.[6]
Resources
The Alberta Genealogical Society houses the Albertan Index to the Registration of Births, Marriages and Deaths, 1870-1905, one copy of which is also accessible at the Provincial Archives of Alberta.[7]
