[Records-Access-Alerts] (Canada) 1931 Census Index Released by Ancestry Free Access

Ancestry.ca ( Canada) has released its index for the 1931 Census of Canada…this makes it searchable by name, birthyear, residence place, family member names, marital status, and gender! Canada release the census to the general public after its 92-year embargo period.  diacritical and accent marks may not appear and are not required to search names. Transcription accuracy is dependent upon the quality of the document being scanned. For best results, view the census image. “This collection includes the population schedules for 1931. City enumeration districts tend to be small and dense, while rural districts are usually geographically larger with sparser populations. Once you find someone in the census, you can explore their enumeration district in city directories, and telephone books to learn more about their community and how they lived”.
