Saskatchewan began officially recording births in 1905 when it became a province, though earlier records exist in church archives, particularly from Catholic, Anglican, and Lutheran congregations. The province has a diverse genealogical history, shaped by Indigenous communities, Métis populations, and European settlers who arrived through Canada’s westward expansion. Large waves of immigrants from Ukraine, Germany, and Scandinavia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries played a significant role in shaping Saskatchewan’s cultural landscape. The Saskatchewan Vital Statistics Agency maintains modern birth records with a 100-year access restriction, while provincial archives hold historical records valuable for genealogical research.
