Therefore, you must know the name of the township where your ancestor lived and the number of the lot he lived on.

Illustrated historical atlases published about 1878 for some counties include maps showing names of landowners. See [[Canada Maps]]. | Therefore, you must know the name of the township where your ancestor lived and the number of the lot he lived on.
