Searching for X-ray binaries projected on open clusters (OCs) and supernova remnants (SNRs), associations of X-ray binaries with OCs and SNRs in the Galaxy are discussed. Three of the high mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) and four of the low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are projected on open clusters. Five of HMXBs and six of LMXBs are projected on SNRs. The number of the HMXB projections are less than the LMXBs, which is not expected and is surprising since the objects in this study, except the LMXBs, are all young objects. Such associations help us improve distance and age estimates of …
