Quebec Census 1881 and 1901
The Quebec 1881 Census and Quebec 1901 Census make it possible to find individuals recorded throughout the province and explore the households in which they lived. These searchable census indexes simplify the process of locating an ancestor using information transcribed from the original census records.
The indexed data can help place an individual at a specific point in time, identify members of the same household, and follow a family between the two census years. Comparing the Quebec 1881 Census and Quebec 1901 Census can reveal migration patterns, changes in family composition, and other important milestones in your ancestors' lives.
Ontario Census 1881
The collection also includes a searchable index of the Ontario 1881 Census. It is particularly valuable for researching ancestors who moved from Quebec to Ontario or for tracing families whose members lived in both provinces.
As part of Canada's nineteenth-century census records, the Ontario 1881 Census provides an important source for locating individuals and families during this period. It complements the Quebec census collections available in the tool and allows researchers to extend their genealogy beyond Quebec.
