Victoria Census Records
Below is a listing of the census records available on
microfilm; they are available both at the National Archives of Canada (NAC) in
Ottawa and at the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick (PANB) in Fredericton.
Censuses are conducted every ten years (1871, 1881, etc.). Federal Privacy laws
prohibit the release of certain information; the latest publicly-accessible
census records are from 1901. The census records are not usually indexed;
however, the following listings of the parishes (census sub-districts) may prove
helpful to researchers.
Note: Victoria County was
established in 1844. Madawaska county was split from it in 1873, yet its census
records are still included under Victoria County in the 1881, 1891, and 1901
censuses.
