http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/search/arch

This section enables one to enter the name of a person, the name of a record or a microfilm number then displays the results for any mention of the request in the archive collection. Those records that have been digitized are attached to the results. Mention is made about whether the records are open to the public or require an Access to Information request. Those records that have been microfilmed, and are open to the public, can no longer be borrowed through Interlibrary Loan. One can order digitized or photocopies of the records for a fee. Ancestors Search

http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/lac-bac/search/anc

This section enables one to check for individuals in the Library and Archives Canada online databases or find digitized copies of particular records such as immigration and census records. Page 34 Under AMICUS LAC in paragraph spelt out: This is a database of materials published in Canada. In addition to those items found in Library and Archives Canada it lists where else in Canada the items can be found and whether they are available through Interlibrary Loan. Under The Canadian Genealogy Centre: Genealogy and Family History (Name change here and in the paragraph below) http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/genealogy/index-e.html The Genealogy and Family History provides information about the records found at Library and Archives Canada that could be of interest to genealogists.

Some centers also have reader/printers so you can make copies from the microforms for a fee. Best practice would be to take your digital camera if you want copies of the documents. Hours of operation and permanent collections differ from location to location. To order film or fiche from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, you need to go to http://film.familysearch.org where you will need to create an account and then order and pay for the film you wish to borrow.

Page 49 The first two paragraphs are replaced with the following: A census is the official enumeration of a country’s population. While it provided the government with information to determine future needs, it provided the family researcher with valuable information about their ancestors. The census has been taken in Canada since 1666. Beginning in 1851, there has been a census taken every 10 years. The North West Territories was included in this process beginning in 1881. The census consists of the nominal census, which provides information about the people, and the agricultural census, which provides information about their buildings and lands. The 1921 census is the last Canadian census that is available for public viewing. The official date for the census to be taken was 04 April 1881, 06 April 1891, 31 March 1901, 24 June 1906, 01 June 1911, 01 June 1916 and 01 June 1921. However, it was often difficult for the enumerator to get around on those dates so it could have taken until mid-June to complete.

Border Crossing Records From the United States to Canada 1908 - 1935 http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/genealogy/index-e.html

Border crossing records are the lists of those who entered Canada from the United States through official ports of entry beginning in 1908. The lists are primarily for immigrant trains and often do not list arrivals by road or foot. They are arranged by port of entry, then by month and day of arrival. Information on the lists include the name, age, sex, occupation, country of birth, country of citizenship, place coming from and going to, how much money he or she has and remarks. The remarks column could contain information about the people they were meeting in Canada. Scattered throughout the records are lists of those who were refused entry and why they were refused entry. Information about the records and how to access is found at Genealogy and Family History. Detailed information is also found in the book Destination Canada: a genealogical guide to immigration records. Not all immigrants were registered. If one or both parents had been born in Canada or had lived here previously they were considered Returning Canadians rather than immigrants. The index and images are found on the subscription website ancestry.ca. The back page was microfilmed before the front page.
