== Background of Canada Censuses == | |||
A census is a count and description of the population. Censuses have been taken by the colonial, provincial, and national governments of [[Canada Genealogy|Canada]] for a variety of reasons, including taxation and levying for militia service. | |||
Census records can provide family relationships, age, year of birth, description of property, religion, and place of birth. Microfilm copies are available at many repositories and through interlibrary loan. Generally, more recent censuses are more complete. They can provide information missing in other records. Use census information with caution because information (which may have been given by any family member) may be incorrect or deliberately falsified. | |||
