==History of Newfoundland and Labrador Census==
From 1851 to 1901, a census occurred every ten years in Canada.
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. For a more detailed history, see [[Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada Genealogy|Newfoundland and Labrador]]. Newfoundland and Labrador were enumerated on the 1871 and 1911 Canada census as part of Quebec and the Northwest Territories, respectively. Newfoundland and Labrador took several censuses at the province level. However years vary and some are partial. Additionally, some censuses were were statistical enumerations and others are only available as transcripts.

====Official Canada Censuses====


Newfoundland did not become part of Canada until 1949, so that area was not enumerated in the Canada Census until 1951 (which has not been released to the public). Labrador was enumerated in the Census of Canada in 1871 in the Quebec, Labrador District and in the Census of Canada in 1911 in the Northwest Territories, Labrador Sub-district.
