:Alberta marriage records date from about 1890. When requesting the record for genealogical purposes, be sure to request a '''certified photocopy of a registration of marriage''' (long form). This record will contain the names of bride and groom, date and place of marriage, birthplaces of bride and groom and registration number and date, and may contain the age and/or birth date of bride and groom and the names and birth places of parents.
