Index: Nova Scotia Census Extracts [Native – First Peoples – Metis]

Core Index: First Peoples Genealogy and History

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 Nova Scotia between 1852 and 1921. Please note that 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 places below were traditional territories that were already inhabited and named by indigenous peoples.
