Update: FamilySearch.org Newfoundland Census

 

FamilySearch has made the following update to Newfoundland records as follows -

 

Newfoundland Census 1921 - https://familysearch.org/search/collection/2226517?et_cid=48696254&et_rid=839174644&linkid=https%3a%2f%2ffamilysearch.org%2fsearch%2fcollection%2f2226517&cid= 

 

Newfoundland Census 1935 - https://familysearch.org/search/collection/2246711?et_cid=48696254&et_rid=839174644&linkid=https%3a%2f%2ffamilysearch.org%2fsearch%2fcollection%2f2246711&cid= 

 

Newfoundland Census 1945 - https://familysearch.org/search/collection/2246699?et_cid=48696254&et_rid=839174644&linkid=https%3a%2f%2ffamilysearch.org%2fsearch%2fcollection%2f2246699&cid= 

 

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/
