Hi Elgin.
Have you obtained your fathers Birth Registration?
This will show personal informatin - including names of parents - place of birth of parents etc
Marriage Registration for your parents:?
Will show - names of both parties; age, marital status.Occupation names of parents - including mothers maiden name - place of birth of parents. etc etc
Genealogical Registraitons can be obtained from Govt of Alberta Vital Statistics Registry Offices - Cost in the $40 range.
Your Registration of Birth - will show information re parents.
Order Genealogical Registration - rather than Certificate.
Certificate is an extract of basic informatint taken from the Registraiton.
Good for proof of an event - but of little use for genealogical research.
Death Registrations - could be of help - but not as reliable as Marriage regs =birth regs - where information comes directly from persons involved.
Happy New Year 2009 - Cheers STella
