Yesterday while searching for information on early Quebec census returns, I stumbled on a website I had never used before and for a few minutes we had a great time playing with the different databases. What a wealth of information is on this website if you have an interest in New France. It provides statistics on the population from the early census returns. By selecting the 1851 census for Ontario it was easy to see that most areas of Simcoe County are not included. Take a minute out of your busy lives and have a bit of fun discovering your neighbours' secrets....... if you had lived in early Canada! The information on the early census returns will give you conversation material to dazzle people with your intelligence for years to come. http://estat.statcan.gc.ca/cgi-win/cnsmcgi.pgm?Lang=eng&ESTATFile=Estat/English/SC_RR-eng.htm <http://estat.statcan.gc.ca/cgi-win/cnsmcgi.pgm?Lang=eng&ESTATFile=Estat/English/SC_RR-eng.htm> Copy and paste into your browser address window.
