Can someone tell me what the best way to view these records? I saw a mention of Rose's in Joanne's post and it got my immediate attention.

Heather: Canadian Archives can be found here. http://www.archives.ca/02/020122_e.html The actual census should be found here. Of what shows up. 1 is the street names, and 2 is the census data. http://data4.archives.ca/netacgi/nph-brs?s2=NS&s3=&s4=&s5=Sydney&s6=z- 5&s7=&s8=&s1=&Sect4=AND&l=20&Sect1=IMAGE&Sect2=THESOFF&Sect5=FS31PEN&s10=190 1&Sect6=HITOFF&d=GS31&p=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.archives.ca%2F02%2F02012203_e.ht ml&r=0&f=S If clicking on the above URL doesn't work, try a "cut and paste" into your browser's address bar. If neither of those work, go to the web site above, search the 1901 for Sydney in the Province of Nova Scotia and look for these records. Should be about # 15 if all the Sydney's show up properly, Province/Territory: Nova Scotia District Name: CAPE BRETON District Number: 28 Sub-district Name: Sydney (Town/Ville) Sub-district Number: z-5 Schedule: 1 Reference: RG31 , Statistics Canada Microfilm Reel Number: T-6448 Finding Aid Number: 31-40 Hope this helps.
