Alberta Records Name Index (ARNI) Database


The Alberta Genealogical Society has compiled over 850,000 records from cemeteries burial records (595,365), local area history books (179,683), newspapers (41,171), and life events in Alberta (50,904), as well as some cemeteries located in Saskatchewan and the Peace River Block in British Columbia.


AGS members can log in to ARNI, search and obtain the complete record.

A big thank you to all AGS members who spent hours recording information from cemeteries, as well as birth, marriage, and death notices (life events) in their area. There was an amazing amount of hours spent for 50 years. 


A huge thank you to the following people as well, who contributed to make the database available online. Dwayne Holmberg of OtherMachines,com, Norma Wolowyk, Shannon Cherkowski, Lianne Kruger and Marion Rex. 


The report consists of the surnames and any other data that may be pertinent to the individual such as: given name, birth and death date, age, cemetery name, source, nearest town, plot/grave number, and any remarks copied from the marker or records that are of genealogical value. 


Researchers should be aware that every effort has been taken to transcribe the names and dates correctly, however, some grave markers have deteriorated beyond recognition and written burial records can be difficult to read.  On occasion, spelling varies between the written record and the gravestone engraving.  In most cases, the spelling on the grave marker is presumed correct.
