Update: FamilySearch.org Newfoundland Census


 
FamilySearch has made the following update to Newfoundland records as follows -
 
 
 
 
Newfoundland is different from the rest of Canada because it did not become a province until 1949. Before that time, it was a colony of Great Britain, and the normal rules for the releasing of census records did not apply until they became a province. 
 
Also, if you want to learn more about Newfoundland and Labador, you can read up on the records at the FamilySearch Wiki page at https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Newfoundland_and_Labrador_Genealogy 
 
The two genealogy websites for Newfoundland and Labador are Newfoundland's Grand Banks Genealogy Site at http://ngb.chebucto.org/index.html, and the Family History Society of Newfoundland and Labrador at http://www.fhsnl.ca/
