Saskatchewan’s death records are an essential resource for genealogists researching family histories in Canada’s Prairie Provinces. Official registration of deaths began in 1920, though earlier records can be found in church registers, cemetery inscriptions, and local archives, dating back to the late 19th century when settlers began arriving in larger numbers.
These records typically include key information such as family relationships, places of birth, and causes of death. Additional resources, like obituaries, gravestones, and probate files, help fill gaps in earlier documentation. Saskatchewan’s history, shaped by Indigenous communities, Métis culture, European settlers, and its role in Canada’s agricultural development, makes these records invaluable. They provide insights into family connections and the cultural and historical growth of the province.
