Maps

The following web sites have maps of various sorts that you should find useful in your research. Wherever available, information on how to obtain these maps is given as well.

Welcome, genealogists, historians, and history enthusiasts, to the new home of the Prince Albert and area Gen Web Project! Our dedicated volunteers are thrilled to continue the legacy of documenting Saskatchewan's rich genealogy, history, family narratives, community heritage, and more. 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
