Quite true. But the Collections Canada census is indexed using the Mormon index. I have a Snare family on the 1881 census, and some of them are indexed under the name Lewis. It's a transcription error, but still the index reads Lewis, when it should be Snare. And what you are saying is my point exactly. Why do they use a transcribed census when they can view the original images. You always go with the original, so why use the transcription?? To me it's a no brainer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vickie Reid" <vereid@hotmail.com> To: <nova-scotia-l@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, May 12, 2012 5:24 PM Subject: Re: [NS-L] [LL] Familysearch 1881 Census CDs > > Pardon me for interjecting on your response to the 1881 at Collections Canada....They have a search page, and then you can view the original image, it is not just a carry over from the LDS.
