Hi, Unfortunately Not - The Province of Alberta - considers Vital Events - Birth, Marriage ,Death - as Private - not Public Information. so no online data base -

You might want to Contact Govt of Alberta - Vital Events Registry - they will be able to advise - re the process to obtain records - and who is allowed access. to information
