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.

====Local, Territory, and Province Censuses====
=== Online Canadian Indexes and Images  ===
Province censuses are census records that were taken at the province level. Province censuses can even serve as substitutes for missing Canada censuses.
'''As Newfoundland did not become a province of Canada until 1949, it was not included in the Canadian census returns of 1851 to 1911.'''
