If you had folks living anywhere in Canada in 1921 – and you know about where they lived, you’ll most likely want to go check out the 1921 Canadian census, now posted at ancestry.ca. According to their website, “with the recent release of the 1921 Census of Canada by Statistics Canada, it is now available for browsing on Ancestry.ca through a partnership with Library and Archives Canada!”
The Canadian census of 1921 is the most recent census available to the public. The records cover Canada’s peak immigration period, the rise of aboriginal and women’s rights and the formation of this country’s modern identity. The indexing of all 8.8 million records is currently in process. Although you’ll need to know the place where your people lived, you can currently browse the collection online at no charge. When you click on the link, and attempt to browe, there’s a good chance you’ll be asked to do a FREE registration. Since I’m a member, I just went to the top of the screen and logged in, thus bypassing the free registration.
I had family that lived in Brantford, Ontario years ago. So I immediately checked out the images for area. It turned out there are a lot of them! I counted 54 databases just for Brantford. However, the images are superb.
