Index: Native – First Peoples – Metis [Canadian Census Extracts]

Index: First Peoples Genealogy and History

Index: The Maliseet in Canadian Census Records  NEW

Index: The Mi’kmaq in Canadian Census Records  NEW

This is part of a constantly updated larger project to locate surnames carried by Canadian Natives, First Peoples and Metis. In this series of posts, I list surnames found in various census documents ranging from the 19th to the 20th century. This is the list of all census extracts organized by location.

The companion series –  Native / First Peoples / Metis Surnames of Canada – Marriage Records contains many of the same surnames as well as others.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Canada presently has ten provinces and then the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Labrador is physically north of Quebec but politically within Newfoundland. When  researching Canada you need to consider that the internal political boundaries have changed significantly  –  and this more than once.! When searching through records it may help to remember that:

• the Yukon was north of British Columbia
• the North-west Territories included the District of Arthabaska, District of Alberta, District of Saskatchewan and the District of Assiniboia
• the District of Keewatin was north of Ontario
• the District of Ungava was north of Quebec

---

* I use the term Metis for people listed explicitly as Metis on the census forms, and also as a replacement for derogatory terms such as half-breed. I also use Inuit for Eskimo (another derogatory term in Canada). In all cases you can click through the links and read the original document for yourself.
