James, I would rearrange your citations slightly. Arranging the elements from largest to smallest. 1851 census of Canada West (Ontario), Dundas County, population schedule, Winchester Township, Enumeration District 5, p. 27 (stamped), lines 9-18, Elizabeth Bogart household; Library and Archives Canada microfilm C11717. For the online image my citation would look like: 1851 census of Canada West (Ontario), Dundas County, population schedule, Winchester Township, Enumeration District 5, p. 27 (stamped), lines 9-18, Elizabeth Bogart household; digital images, Library and Archives Canada, (http:// www.collectionscanada.gc.ca : accessed 2 December 2012); citing LAC microfilm C11717. If I was citing the agricultural schedule I would substitute the word population for agricultural. You could use the words schedule A instead of population schedule, but I think using population or agricultural is clearer. Hope this helps, Ann In a message dated 02-Dec-12 13:32:26 US Mountain Standard Time, baillie@ncf.ca writes: James, Automated Genealogy is a great search tool but it is really only an index to LAC census images. Therefore, having found what I wanted at Automated Genealogy, I would go directly to the LAC website, where I would see that there is both a Schedule A (Personal Census) and a Schedule B (Agricultural Census), and that the personal census had a second page (p. 28 stamped) which does not turn up through Automated Genealogy. Viewing the images through the LAC website also means that I no longer need any reference to Automated Genealogy. So in the end, I would cite the online LAC images, specifying which schedule I used, and not mention Automated Genealogy at all.
