Land Records
Department of the Interior Homestead files These federal records from before 1930 are at the Saskatoon Offices of the Saskatchewan Archives. Microfilm versions are held by the Regina office. Or you can look at the Western Land Grants (1870 - 1930) (formerly called Dominion Land Grants) web page for records dating from around 1870 to 1930. You can search by Section, Township, Range, and Meridian or by Name or by Keywords. You need to have a map showing the Townships and Ranges to locate the properties in question.
Section, Township, Range Don't know what Section, Township, and Range are? This web page from Manitoba gives a good explanation.
Department of Agriculture Grant and Homestead files These files dating after 1930 are also held by the Saskatoon Offices.
Land Titles Information on land titles can be obtained from the District Land Title Office. Certified copies of titles can be obtained from this office as well.
Prince Albert Land Titles
Patents for grants and later transactions These can be found at one of the Land Titles office. There is an office in the Prince Albert court house. Want to get a general idea of what the forms in the land patent process looked like? Check out this page.
Determining topographic map numbers, UTM grid, and latitude and longitude coordinates The problem with the Dominion Land Grants is that they give only Section, Township, and Range information. There is a web site which will convert the Section, Township, and Range for you here. |

You can now find us at our new domain: https://saskgenweb.ca/skpralbt/Prince Albert. Embarking on this journey wouldn't be possible without the support of our growing Patreon community at https://www.patreon.com/SaskGenWeb. With a new domain and hosting provider, we are committed to providing an enduring service. Your support is instrumental in ensuring that we persist year after year. Explore the evolving webpages at https://saskgenweb.ca/skpralbt/Prince Albert and witness the next chapter of the Prince Albert and area Gen Web Project in Saskatchewan at https://saskgenweb.ca/cansk/. We extend an invitation to visitors to consider supporting our volunteers through Patreon. Our gratitude goes to Ancestry.com and Rootsweb.com for their past provision of free web hosting space. As we transition to maintaining paid web hosting, we ask for your support in sustaining the Prince Albert and area Gen Web Project. Step into a new era with us, where your backing, in any form, is a precious contribution to the shared history that binds us all. An appeal is made to preserve invaluable documents like old telephone books, Henderson's directories, city directories, pioneer photos, letters, books, town directories, co-op membership books, credit union and elevator books, grain company records, church books, cattle brand books, school records, church lists, homestead maps, and more. These documents list names of community residents and should be preserved. Placing them online or duplicating them will help prevent the loss of primary source documents for family genealogists and historians. As we delve into preserving and commemorating the vibrant history of Prince Albert and its environs, your participation is crucial. Whether you hold memories of historical maps, one-room schoolhouses, cemetery headstones, transcriptions, yearbooks, directories, or historical letters, your input significantly enhances understanding for fellow seekers exploring their family tree and histories. Join us on this exciting journey! Warm regards, The Prince Albert and Area Gen Web Project Volunteer Team |
