UPDATE: Nova Scotia 1921 Census

Here is the latest update from Dwayne Meisner -

Hi All, just wanted to let you know that many more sub-districts for the

Province of Nova Scotia have been transcribed. Halifax County is nearing

completion, with only a few more areas to finish,  and of course, the Town

of Dartmouth and the City of Halifax. Annapolis County has had more areas

finished, and I am expecting some more areas from some of our busy volunteer

transcribers, including parts of Lunenburg and Cape Breton Counties, and

others.

There is still a long way to go to finish the whole province. You

can view the completed areas by visiting

If you would like to help by contributing a transcription, see

http://dwaynemeisner.com/census/volunteer.php for information on how to do

it.

Or, if you have a Facebook account, you can follow the progress
