Since Canada didn't officially become a country until 1867, the first national census wasn't held until 1871. The 1861 Census of Canada is a collection of five provincial censuses. This database contains a name index to these censuses along with images of the original records. Due to the poor quality of the original filming, some images are unreadable or very difficult to read. As a result, some names may not appear in the index. Censuses were taken throughout different times of the year in the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Canada East (Lower Canada, or roughly southern Quebec), and Canada West (Upper Canada, or roughly southern Ontario). Unfortunately, not all of the 1861 censuses have survived, so this database does not contain a complete representation of the above areas.
