ABOUT AFHS
The Alberta Family Histories Society is a nonprofit association of family genealogists who want to share their research with the world. Starting in 1980, the AFHS has collected cemetery records and images, B/M/D indexes and obituaries. This Alberta Ancestors website is our portal into that repository of family history.
