Libraries are a great place to start family research, as material is sorted by subject, making it fairly easy to find information by place, or military etc. Please use the online databases below, and search by subject such as surnames, clans, tartans, heraldry, passenger or by town name (search by the nearest existing town name would provide what local history/family biography books are available.) The Regina Prairie History Room and Saskatoon Public Library Local History Room of the are excellent resources for starting your genealogy research here in Saskatchewan. These libraries have numerous books on surnames, clans, tartans, heraldry, passenger list indices, bibliographies, specific family and town histories and genealogical guidebooks. You will also find genealogical magazines which the library subscribes to. As well as books, pamphlets and magazines at the library, there are newspapers, passenger lists and various different census on microfilm. The Henderson's City Directories and an amazing amount of biographies and community histories have been collected and compiled in binders, name reference files, scrapbooks, pioneer reminiscences, photo albums. There is a wealth of information which the superb staff at the libraries have made available for researchers. Some items are reference material only, so they must be used in the department. A trip is well worth your while! The Saskatchewan libraries also have a new online question and answer service called Ask Us! Questions are fielded by the Lakeland Library Region, Pahkisimon Nuye?áh Library System, Palliser Regional Library, Parkland Regional Library, Regina Public Library, Saskatoon Public Library, and Southeast Public Library. This project is provided to give brief answers to factual questions, bibliographies and to give some guidance on how to start your research!
