About Regina Branch

The Saskatchewan Genealogical Society is a volunteer organization devoted to promoting the study of family history throughout the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. It has 20 local branches throughout the province. Regina Branch is one of those branches, active within the capital city of Regina and the surrounding area.

The SGS provincial office and library has a small staff. However, all of the branches, including Regina Branch, are purely voluntary. We help each other with our family history research. We also participate in several activities, described on this website, which assist fellow genealogists to access Saskatchewan-based data. It is likely those activities which will be of most interest to visitors to this site.

What We Do

As you will see elsewhere on this site, SGS Regina Branch is very active:

We get together for monthly meetings, which consist of member sharing,
a program and fellowship. See Coming Events page.
We produce Now and Then, a quarterly newsletter.
See Newsletter page.
We do genealogical research for ourselves and others. Many of our members are Certified Saskatchewan Researchers. See Research page.
We produce and sell excellent indexes of the 1891 Canadian Census of the
Northwest Territories. See 1891 Census Index page.
We record and index burials in Regina and area cemeteries.
See Cemetery Index page.
Every few years we host the SGS annual provincial seminar, a three-day conference.
