Why Census Records are Important:
The Canadian Census provides many details about individuals and families. They are useful for pinpointing individuals and families in a particular time and place and depict certain aspects of their lives. Because of the amount of information provided, combined with the fact that individuals are generally shown in "family groups", censuses are often the first sources turned to when beginning family history research
