==Quebec in the Canadian Censuses==
===Population Schedules - Online Records===
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.

== Census Records ==
 
=== National Censuses  ===
 
Canada census records (1871-1921) are available at [https://www.familysearch.org/ FamilySearch], [https://www.ancestry.com/ Ancestry], [https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/census/Pages/census.aspx Library and Archives Canada], [http://automatedgenealogy.com/index.html Automatedgenealogy.com], the [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/search FamilySearch Catalog], and other archives and libraries. See [[Canada Census]] for more information about Canadian national census records. Also see: [http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/census/Pages/census.aspx Library and Archives Canada].
 
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.)
 
When searching census records, be aware that some pages may be missing, some ink has faded to illegibility, some pages are torn in these census records, and some people are missing from the census.
 
=== 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.

Provincial censuses were taken for '''Canada East (southern Québec) in 1851 and 1861'''. (The 1851 census was actually taken in 1852.) The censuses list all the members of the household. Some sections were lost, and there is no index for the entire province. National Archives of Canada microfilm numbers for these censuses are also available in Thomas A. Hillman, ''Catalogue of Census Returns on Microfilm = Catalogue de Recensements sur microfilm, 1666–1891'' (see "National Censuses" on the previous page).

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.

Quebec in the Canadian Censuses[edit | edit source]

Population Schedules - Online Records[edit | edit source]

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.
