Thanks, Angela. I enjoyed perusing the census there. Neat how it's free, too. I am inexperienced, but I've only seen US census data available by subscription. How fortunate you are! --Paula

The web address is http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/1911/index-e.html I had place names for a location and a surname for my ancestors but I wasn't sure if my place name was a town, county, etc (I'm clueless as to how Canada is divided into what in the US would be states and counties, etc) They had the following choices listed. Introduction and Contextual Help Search the Database Census Districts and Sub-districts I chose the "Census District and Sub-district" With this list I was able to match up the district and sub-district with the place names that I had. Then I clicked on "Search the Database". Here I clicked on the providence (Quebec) And then in the box below I entered the district, subdistrict ie. Montmorency, L'ange-Gardien on the next page you click on associated images. In this case I had 29 pages of the census to look through to find my ancestor. (unfortunately there were a lot of "Mathieu" families out there but it gives me a place to start.) As the website states the census is indexed only by location and not by family names.
