AncestorsEdmonton Branch keeps copies of documentation, the originals of which
are on file in the Dominion Office. Much of this material relates to
certification "proofs" linking member applicants to their Loyalist
Ancestors. Additional material may also be held which the Branch
Genealogist has not sent to Dominion Office but which may be quite
helpful to members researching specific surnames.
- Loyalist Ancestors of Edmonton Branch members who have received their

Proven UEL ancestors.
