God Bless you Ancestry for indexing the 1861 and 1871 Census……now I can delete the 1861 and 1871 for Haldimand off my computer!!

I have been waiting for this for so long as the 1851 did not survive in a few areas that I had folks in. I live in the States and it would take hours to find my folks on microfilm.

I know I am pushing the envelope a tad.. What about the 1842 that was taken in some areas of Ontario? Any plans for that?

Five spams in a row, and all in broken English! Nice!

Hi! Just wanted to say thanks! for ancestry.com I really enjoy genealogy,I’ve done for a long time. The best part about ancestry.com I can do my genealogy at home instead of going to the library. Thanks! again

I don’t want to comment on this article. But it’s one of the few I click on that gives me a comment box. I’ve spent 20 minutes trying to find another. In any event, when I complained that wills of Chariton County, Mo., seemed to be missing the names of testators, I received the following reply, “We are sorry that you are encountering difficulty. The records that you retrieve may or may not contain all of the information that you are searching for. We suggest that you do further searching of the records available to find more information.” I can’t believe that the help desk person even looked. Just what kind of knowledge does a support person has when they can’t understand the importance of the name of a testator in a will.

Wow, what can be searched for free in Canada will now be charged for in the States. I’ll stick to the Canadian Library and Archives.

Gary,

It is lovely to get access to these images on ancestry.com.

But they are not complete. Where are the other three pages of the 1851 census? Ancestry has put up only the first page (with names, ages) and omitted the additional pages with further details, such as type of house.

So strike the word “complete” unless you can add the full image set for 1851.

THANKS! It’s great to have all of the Canadian Censuses available. I can find my people by browsing, but I can’t find them in the indexes in order to download the images to my tree. Are the indexes complete for Upper Canada ie, Victoria and Old Ontario Counties?
