Publisher-reported update

2026-04-17

The database presented here brings together an assortment of early census, property assessment, and poll tax records, providing a total of 69,807 personal names. None of the census, assessment or poll tax records presented here is complete for the province - even if they claimed to be so at the time. None of the individual returns is complete internally either; people and households were overlooked, and sections of communities were undoubtedly missed.
