If anyone needs the 1901 Canadian census it is available online, free of charge. The only caveat is that volunteers are still working on transcripts so you may have to check back from time to time. A great many records have been transcribed already. The starting point is http://automatedgenealogy.com/census/NationalSummary.jsp (Index to the 1901 Census of Canada - note "National Surname Index" -- also the vast number of surname spellings on offer!) These pages link to the National Archives web site, where the digitized census pages can be viewed (again, without charge). Happy hunting, Frances
