MyFamily.com, Inc., has launched a new Canadian genealogy web site: www.ancestry.ca. The site contains Canadian genealogy data, including the first and only fully indexed 1911 Census of Canada.
The online 1911 Census of Canada is searchable by family name. Information in the database includes each person's place of habitation, marital status, age, place of birth, religion, occupation, education, and more. The 1911 Census includes the nine provinces that were part of Canada at that time: Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan. It also includes two territories: the Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories. Users will be able to see the actual census records, written in the enumerators' (census takers') handwriting.
In addition to the 1911 Canadian census, Ancestry.ca also offers access to the following online collections:
- Ontario Vitals
- Ontario Marriage Index, 1858-1899
- Ontario Birth Index, 1869-1907
