---------------------------------------------
There is a very important collection of genealogical records which I found 
yesterday in the Alberta Genealogical Society Library in Edmonton. It is 
probably the only such collection of material in Canada or the USA with 
perhaps the exception of Salt Lake City.

It is the Dr. Conradi collection of mostly non-church published 
genealogical data for East Prussia, West Prussia, Danzig (Old Prussia); 
some parts of Berlin and various other towns/localites etc. in Saxony. I am 
sure that many German Russians, Polish Germans and others will find 
ancestral names and data in the material. There must be over 100 volumes of 
material.

The material is all in the German language and includes data from various 
centuries - lists of citizens; lists of immigrants, emigrants, etc;  and in 
most cases there are indexes at the back of the books listing the names 
that appear in that particular book.

This will be a great research tool for many people in Western Canada. I had 
heard of Dr. Conradi. He was a physician and died a few years ago and his 
family donated these books. The have to be read in the facility.
