Special Notes about this census list
This is not a true copy of the census. The material has been standardized to assist novice researchers. The lists are in the exact order of the originals. Most remarks are in French and very difficult to read. There are some obvious errors in the originals (i.e. a male age 1to4 is noted as becoming a female over 14 in the following year – that’s a good trick!). These types of errors have not been corrected.
The following changes have been made:
- All names & spellings have been standardized
- Complete given names are used when known – regardless of how the person is listed on the census
- Notes (ie. {a} {b}) are made to distinguish two people with the same name and to assist researchers following that person thru several years
- Notes in [brackets] are comments by researchers
- Letters or words with question marks after them are best guesses!
- Underlines _ indicate words that we can’t even guess at!
