Ontario, Canada – 19 November 2008 – FamilySearch International announced its plans to make the indexes to available Canadian censuses accessible online for free with the help of online volunteer indexers and an agreement with Ancestry.ca. The first censuses completed will be those from 1861, 1871, and 1916. Online volunteers are needed to help transcribe select information from digital images of the historical documents into easily searchable indexes. The completed indexes will be available for free at www.familysearch.org.
The website I have provided is not complete but it is something you can check out. As well, my family tree is posted on Ancestry.com; it is a public tree and is under the name of Heather Holdgate’s Ancestry (I think).
I am willing to volunteer to help enter Canadian Census data; anything can help my fellow hobby genealogists (and professionals for that matter).
I look forward to hearing back from you with instructions on how to go about this undertaking.
Regards,
Heather Holdgate
