FootNote
The new kid on the block, FootNote is known for digitizing historical
documents... many of which are genealogical gems. With naturalizations,
city directories, war records, newspapers, town records, etc... this new
kid is quickly being recognized as an alternative to Ancestry.
While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
Indexing the 1901 Census
Please take note that a good part of the 1901 Canadian census has already been indexed by names by different groups such as local genealogical and/or historical societies, regional archival repositories or university research centres. To facilitate your research on your family origins, the Canadian Genealogy Centre has made an inventory of such indexes by districts.
To know if the district, division, or sub-division of interest to you has already been indexed, contact the Canadian Genealogy Centre at :
cgc-ccg@archives.ca.
If the district, division or sub-division of interest to you has not been
indexed, it may be of interest to you to know that the Canadian Genealogy
Centre is conducting a project of indexing the 1901 Canadian census
throughout the country based on volunteers.
2. If you can't find the name of your city or village in the Census records, check to see if your city or village existed in 1901 - or if it had a different name.
3. Do not hesitate to consult old city directories (available at local libraries or at the
National Library of Canada). It will facilitate your search in the schedule 2 (buildings and dwellings) of the Census.
4. Warning! The records were scanned from poor quality microfilm. Some documents may be
hard to read.
