==Quebec in the Canadian Censuses==

The first census in Canada was in 1851. Quebec was called Canada East (also known as Lower Canada) in the 1851 and 1861 Censuses. Starting in 1871, it was known as the province of Quebec and is included in all Canada Censuses thereafter.

=== National Censuses  ===
 
Many Canadian national census records are at the Family History Library, LIbrary and Archives Canada, and other archives and libraries. See [[Canada Census]] for more information about Canadian national census records.
 
Most available national censuses have been indexed. Indexes and links to them are listed at the [http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/genealogy/022-911.009-e.html Library and Archives Canada web site].  
 
To find out if a specific subdistrict (township or equivalent) or district (county or equivalent) is available on a census see:
 
Hillman, Thomas A. ,''Catalogue of Census Returns on Microfilm = Catalogue de Recensements sur microfilm 1666–1891''. [Ottawa, Ontario, Canada]: Public Archives of Canada, 1987. (Family History Library {{FHL|971 X23ht|disp=book 971 X23ht}}). A list of the censuses that are available for parishes, townships, and counties (look in the Québec section of the book). The catalog includes microfilm numbers for the National Archives of Canada. (They are not Family History Library film numbers.)
 
Census images for the 1851, 1881, 1901 and 1911 census are available at [http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/genealogy/index-e.html Library and Archives Canada], You may search these images by location, but not by name.&nbsp; The 1901 and 1911 census have indexes or partial indexes available at [http://automatedgenealogy.com/index.html Automatedgenealogy.com]. Indexes and images for 1851, 1891, 1901 and 1911 are available on [http://www.ancestry.ca/search/default.aspx www.ancestry.ca].&nbsp; FamilySearch and Ancestry have announced a partnership to digitize and index the 1861 and 1871 census images.&nbsp; Presently there are no province-wide indexes for these records.<br>
 
Indexes for a few localities within the province are listed in the Locality Search of the Family History Library Catalog under QUEBEC, [COUNTY], [TOWN] - CENSUS.
 
The national censuses from 1921 to the present are not available to the public.
 
=== Provincial Censuses  ===
 
There are many early census records for the province of Québec. Most censuses from 1792 to 1842 list only the head of the household. Those censuses can help you find where families with a particular surname were living.

National Censuses[edit | edit source]

Many Canadian national census records are at the Family History Library, LIbrary and Archives Canada, and other archives and libraries. See Canada Census for more information about Canadian national census records.

Most available national censuses have been indexed. Indexes and links to them are listed at the Library and Archives Canada web site.

To find out if a specific subdistrict (township or equivalent) or district (county or equivalent) is available on a census see:

Hillman, Thomas A. ,Catalogue of Census Returns on Microfilm = Catalogue de Recensements sur microfilm 1666–1891. [Ottawa, Ontario, Canada]: Public Archives of Canada, 1987. (Family History Library book 971 X23ht). A list of the censuses that are available for parishes, townships, and counties (look in the Québec section of the book). The catalog includes microfilm numbers for the National Archives of Canada. (They are not Family History Library film numbers.)

Census images for the 1851, 1881, 1901 and 1911 census are available at Library and Archives Canada, You may search these images by location, but not by name.  The 1901 and 1911 census have indexes or partial indexes available at Automatedgenealogy.com. Indexes and images for 1851, 1891, 1901 and 1911 are available on www.ancestry.ca.  FamilySearch and Ancestry have announced a partnership to digitize and index the 1861 and 1871 census images.  Presently there are no province-wide indexes for these records.

Indexes for a few localities within the province are listed in the Locality Search of the Family History Library Catalog under QUEBEC, [COUNTY], [TOWN] - CENSUS.

The national censuses from 1921 to the present are not available to the public.
