=== | == Provincial Censuses == | ||
{| class=" | |||
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. | |||

====Library and Archives of Canada==== | |||
Partial censuses, various years, for a few areas of Quebec are available microfilm at the Library and Archives of Canada: [https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/census/Pages/Finding-Aid-300.aspx#j Finding Aid 300: Other census and related documents (1640 to 1945)] | |||
====Various Indexes==== | |||
Private researchers have indexed early censuses and other sources for the Eastern Townships region. For information, contact the Librarian of the Québec Family History Society. | |||
:[http://www.qfhs.ca/ '''Québec Family History Society''']<br> 153 rue Ste-Anne6<br> Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue (Québec) H9X 1M5<br>Telephone: (514) 695-1502 | |||
== Other Sources == | |||
Another useful source for finding census records for Québec is: | |||
Reisinger, Joy. "''Published Census Returns of Québec." Lost in Canada?: Canadian-American Query Exchange 17, number 3''(summer 1994): 134–36. (Family History Library {{FHL|92996|title-id|disp=book 971 B2c; fiche 6048073}}.) Extensive bibliography of printed censuses and lists of settlers, 1608–1825. | |||
==== Voters Lists ==== | |||
The Archives holds the records of the Chief Electoral Officer for Canada (RG 113) which include lists of voters prepared during Federal election years since 1935. Available on microfilm, they are arranged by '''electoral district'''. See ''Tracing Your Ancestors in Canada'', page 17. The ANQ holds some Poll Books, most would be at regional branches. | |||
==== National Registration ==== | |||
Also by '''electoral district and polling division''' are the 1940 National Registration Records are held by Statistics Canada. Having been compiled under the War Measures Act, once a person has been dead for twenty years, or was born over 110 years ago, these can be released - for a fairly hefty fee. There are a number of caveats , but for anyone over 16 in 1940, or who turned 16 in the next few years, it is a fairly recently available source with a great deal of information. | |||

Voters Lists[edit | edit source]
The Archives holds the records of the Chief Electoral Officer for Canada (RG 113) which include lists of voters prepared during Federal election years since 1935. Available on microfilm, they are arranged by electoral district. See Tracing Your Ancestors in Canada, page 17. The ANQ holds some Poll Books, most would be at regional branches.
National Registration[edit | edit source]
Also by electoral district and polling division are the 1940 National Registration Records are held by Statistics Canada. Having been compiled under the War Measures Act, once a person has been dead for twenty years, or was born over 110 years ago, these can be released - for a fairly hefty fee. There are a number of caveats , but for anyone over 16 in 1940, or who turned 16 in the next few years, it is a fairly recently available source with a great deal of information.
