Do you have information on my family?
-
I've looked everywhere for my family and can't find
them, can the YukonGenWeb help? No, the YukonGenWeb can give
suggestions and pointers (99% of which are already
posted on this
website) but is not a research service, and generally can't help with researching a
specific family. You should post a
query, so that others can assist you.

I
don't live in the Yukon. How can I do any Yukon research
outside the territory?
-
LDS
Family History Centers are located worldwide. There
you can order in Yukon research items to aid you in your search. Go to
the LDS
FamilySearch web site to discover the closest
FHC.

Yukon genealogy resources are not available in my
area. What do I do?
-
There are several ways to get around this problem.
-
Plan a trip to the nearest place that does have what
you need to
research (LDS
Family History Centres worldwide have, or
will bring in,
Yukon, Canada resources upon request).
-
Hire a researcher. While YukonGenWeb does not offer
this service,
finding a researcher should be easy enough. Just be
careful! Check out
their credentials and be sure to request feedback from
former clients
(good and bad results). Don't be afraid to "interview"
them. Remember
it's your money and family tree on the line, not theirs.
-
Spend your vacation in the Yukon! Visit
Travel Yukon
for information.

What genealogy records are available?
-
Each province/territory is different, it depends on the
area you are
searching. Canadian law does not permit the release of
"private" records
until 50-100 years have passed (census, vital
statistics, etc), but
records prior to that time
period are generally available. Two of the most asked about records are census
and vital
statistics, below
is some general information.
Census - Once released to the public all census
returns are available at
Library & Archives Canada.
-
What's available
(Yukon) - 1901, 1911.
Vital Statistics - Vital registrations are
available (for a fee) from the Yukon Territorial
Government. Records that are still 'private' can be
obtained only from the Yukon Territorial government
if you can prove you are next-of-kin. Records that
have been released to the public may be available
from Yukon Archives. Birth, marriages and deaths
recorded through church records are accessible from
church archives and/or provincial/territorial
archives.
-
Vital Registrations available
(Yukon) - Births (1925+) [100yrs]; Marriages (1925+)
[75yrs]; Deaths (1925+) [75yrs]; There are incomplete
records that date back to 1896.

I wish to help the YukonGenWeb Project site but what
can I do?
|
|
|
How do I add information to YukonGenWeb?
|
|
|
I sent an e-mail the YukonGenWeb site and have not
yet gotten a reply. Why?
-
There could be several factors involved. Please keep in
mind that this
is a volunteer project and many of those involved have
full lives
that take priority. Give at least two weeks before
assuming your e-mail
has been overlooked. Try e-mailing a second time and if
you still have
not heard back within three weeks of your original
e-mail, contact the
CanadaGenWeb.
