==Census Records==
==Newfoundland and Labrador in the Canadian Censuses==
Census records exist for British and French settlers in Newfoundland. In general, the French records are for Plaisance (Placentia) French held from 1650 -1711 and the town was given up to the British in 1711 . They are transcripts of copies at the National Archives of Canada. The original records are in France. The French had some limited fishing rights on the island but were not allowed to settle on the island of Newfoundland which was Britain's oldest colony.
===Population Schedules - Online Records===
Newfoundland and Labrador officially joined Canada on 31 March 1949. From 1907 to 1949, it was the Dominion of Newfoundland and relatively autonomous from British rule. Newfoundland and Labrador was enumerated on the 1871 Canada census as a part of Quebec. In the 1911 Canada census, it was a part of the Northwest Territories enumeration.
