Index: New Brunswick Census Extracts [Native – First Peoples – Metis]
Main Index: Native/First Peoples/Metis Surnames | Census Extracts
These are the links I’ve collected so far for census records that registered First Nations, Metis or mixed-heritage people who lived in what is now the Canadian province of New Brunswick between 1852 and 1921.
The records were created by settlers so they followed settler naming practices and applied new location names.
I wish to acknowledge (as a settler) that these were traditional territories
that were already inhabited and named by indigenous peoples.

I am a member of the 20th Maine Company I civil war re-enactment group and we are researching Atlantic Canadian involvement in the American Civil War. I am currently trying to identify First Nations soldiers from the Atlantic Provinces. I will find this website a valuable resource in helping to identify then. My biggest hurtle was identifying last names that are used by First nations peoples and the information you have compiled will be valuable in my research.

I’m so glad to hear that! There are lots of sites with in-depth, high quality information but they are always from one region or Nation so it’s hard when you’re getting started. 🙂 Evelyn
