:Alberta death records date from about 1890. When requesting the record for genealogical purposes, be sure to request a '''certified photocopy of a registration of death''' (long form). This record will generally contain the name, date and place of death, sex, age, marital status and registration number and date, and may contain the name of spouse, names and birth places of parents, usual residence, occupation and date and place of birth.
:Death records in Alberta are not public until after 50 years have passed from the date of death. To apply for a genealogical search of death records less than 50 years old, you must be able to show that you are an eligible next of kin (parent, sibling, children or spouse).
