It definitely means native to New Brunswick. I once contacted Ancestry.com about this and they confirmed that they had made a mistake, but that it was too late to change it now! Another issue to be very careful of is that Ancestry has intermingled the 1851 and 1861 censuses on certain pages in the NB censuses. It's helter-skelter and I can't quote exactly which pages and parishes are mixed up, but do your math when referring to those Ancestry transcriptions. One further problem is that some of the census pages have been transcribed horizontally instead of vertically. As a result, Ancestry's quick snapshot of the family members (before you go to the actual census page image) are wrong. You'll have, for example, Joe Smith (head), Alma Campbell (wife), John Smith (son), Mary Campbell (daughter), Thomas Smith (son), Susan Campbell (daughter) etc. Whenever I run across these mistakes, I make a comment on the page in the hopes that other researchers will be made aware of this. It's apparent that Ancestry has no intention of fixing them.

The 1861 census for Wicklow, Carleton, New Brunswick lists an entire page of people as being ³Native² and the Ancestry.com transcribed version interprets that as ³Native American.² Did it actually mean that, or are they referring to ³native to Canada or New Brunswick?² Jim -- Jim Roaix 605 W Shawnee Street Tahlequah OK 74464 918-207-0093 jerx42@hughes.net http://web.me.com/jerx/Neolithic_Sculpture/About_the_Artist.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List Announcements can be found at http://www.rootsweb.com/~nbcharlo/nblistann.htm ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NEWBRUNSWICK-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ----- No virus found in this message.
