Introduction to our Cemetery Index

The Grande Prairie & District Branch partners in transcribing cemetery stones with the Alberta Genealogical Society. When we became conscious that our members were searching for photos of grave markers for their own families’ in international places, we realized we could offer a similar service to those looking in our area. The image collection for "Gravemarkers of Northwestern Alberta” is constantly growing thanks to many of our ardent branch members. To date, we have 21 cemeteries transcribed in our region and continue working on additional cemeteries each year.
