Parkland, Alberta

Our Genealogy Helper for Parkland ...

We have a couple of goals for our Gazetteer:

• That it be a tool that can help us with planning our trips.
• That it also helps us to understand the community in which our ancestors lived, the community that was part of their daily lives.

By learning about Parkland (and the surrounding area) during the time that our ancestors lived, we hope to have a better understanding of both their community and its relationship to their lifes. We hope that this tool helps to give us an insight into their world.

As we add data and organize our Gazetteer to help with our family research, we will be adding to this, our Genealogical Helper for Parkland. While we don't have information that is specific to any given person or family, we intend to expand our understanding about where and how people lived.
