• Notes

  From: University of Alberta Described as : Alberta Homestead Records Details : N/A Their reference: N/A Location : Provincial Archives of Alberta, 8555 Roper Road, Edmonton, AB, T6E 5W1 Homestead records are useful in genealogical research because they contain both land and biographical information about the applicant. While marital status is noted, the spouse is not usually named. If the applicant was not a Canadian citizen, there may be a copy of his/her naturalization record, as only Canadian citizens could receive title to a homestead. These application files provide some of the following information: - Age - Place of birth - Former place of residence - Date of entry on the land - Marital status is noted but the spouse is not usually named - Naturalization record if available (only Canadian citizens could receive title to a homestead) These records are made available as an indexed and searchable archive here. There, one will find additional guidance about these records; details such as, but not limited to: - How to find Homestead Application Files - Explanations of School, Hudson Bay Company, and Railway lands - How to find Township Maps Along with links to various other Government of Alberta resources of interest to people doing family history research. This part of their website is suggested by way of an introduction to this wealth of information.
