Census records in Alberta, Canada, are essential for genealogical research, providing insights into family history since the province joined Confederation in 1905. Prior to this, Alberta was part of the North-West Territories, with earlier censuses dating back to 1870. The federal census, conducted every ten years, records names, ages, birthplaces, occupations, and household relationships, helping researchers trace ancestral movements and settlements. Special enumerations, such as the 1906 and 1916 Prairie censuses, offer additional details on Alberta’s early pioneers. These records are crucial for understanding migration patterns, Indigenous histories, and the province’s development over time.
