Recordings - This is an
on-going project by all the branches of the Alberta Genealogical
Society to collect and publish Cemetery Records in Alberta. The branch
has an index for the cemeteries that have already been recorded. |
| "Genies
in the Library" is a program
offered jointly by the Branch and the Grande Prairie Public Library.
The "Genies" are available in the Isabel Campbell Room at the Grande
Prairie Public Library on Wednesday evenings 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. The
"Genies" provide assistance to people interested in genealogical
research. The "Genies" will not do research for the person, but will do
their best to demonstrate the proper procedures and suggest resources. |
| Library Collection - Our collection is housed in the Isabel
Campbell Room of the Grande
Prairie Public Library, 101, 9839-103 Avenue, Grande Prairie,

as continuing subscriptions to Genealogical Helper, Family Tree
Magazine and Family History News. |
