    1. [CAN-NS-PICTOU] Nova Scotia Census Records
    2. Dwayne Meisner
    3. Hi All, I have recently spent some time updating the Nova Scotia Census Records part of my site. I have had many comments from you, the users, as to how to improve things. The three major things that have been done to the site are: 1. I added a search engine that will specifically search the census records. This search engine is not to be confused with the search function that searches the family tree database. On every census page, you will now find a search box. Simply enter the name, year of census, and location if you know it, and click search. Enter as much or as little information as you wish. A results page will open, and just like Google, the results nearest to the top are most likely the ones you are looking for. Clicking on the resulting link will take you to the appropriate census page, with the correct tab for the area already in view. You can then use the edit & find feature of your browser to search further. (Or use CTRL & F on a PC, CMD & F on a MAC). 2. On each census page, there is now a floating link that always stays with you at the bottom of the page that you can click to print that particular census. When you click it, a new window will open, with just that census on the page, and your printer dialog box will open allowing you to print the page. This feature was requested to make it easier to print when the pages are really long. 3. I have moved all the census records to a new area of the site, but the original link will still work to access them. The link is: http://www.dwaynemeisner.com/censusnovascotia.php I would appreciate your feedback on these new features, and I hope it makes your use of the census records easier. Also, please let me know if you find any glaring errors. I have attempted to make things as bug free as possible, but inevitably, I am sure I missed a thing or two... Dwayne www.dwaynemeisner.com
