Does anyone know what the categories and sub-categories are? I have printed a couple of pages at 11x17 and still cannot make out what they say.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I wonder how many fell into the 2nd half of category 41? |laugh1|

Thank you for clearing that up. I didn't realize that so much information was gathered during the census. |shocked|

Anyone had any joy with the 1911 Canadian Census? As not knowing where my runaway Gt Grandfather ended up, I can't really use it until some indexes are available.

And time is running out for my father, who's now 82; he never knew
his grandfather and is very keen to find out what happened to him.

Cheers, Ann.
