Hi folks, Many thanks to Kim Stevens who has done a lot of work to transcribe the 1838 Pictou Township census! It has just been posted tonight and can be found at "http://www.rootsweb.com/~nspictou/cen_1838_pictou_1.htm" Note that it is left in the original order as you may be able to track down your ancestors by using property deeds and maps (grant maps, A.F. Church maps, Meacham Atlas and Faribault-Fletcher maps) which list neighbours' names to match to the order of family names as they appear in the census. Cheers, Rick MacNeil
