1906 Transcriptions

1906

The 1906 Census was only collected in the prairies of Canada - for purposes of documenting the great volume of new immigrants who settleed there by that time. The Alberta Family Histories Society has established a centralized online 1906 Census Transcription Centre where the 800,000 records can be searched. Images of the original records may be read online at the National Archives of Canada website - as linked from the AFHS pages.

The MHSA has a summary set of links to the transcriptions pertinant to areas that were settled at that time (Mennonite communities). MHSA volunteers are contributing to this transcription work.

Here are the data transcriptions from the 1906 census for Mennonite communities in Canada's Prairies.The census images for Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta can be found online at the National Archives website.

The images from the 1906 Census for the Canadian Prairies is now publicly available at the National Archives Website. To use effectively, you'll need to consult the map resources first to be sure you are pursuing the right geography - since the search tool only works on geographic (not name) fields.

If you're planning to transcribe some pages from the census, be sure not to duplicate the work of others - tell us about your transcription plans and we'll post them on our website. If the communities you are working with do not contain Mennonites, the Canadian Genealogical Projects Registry is still a good place to post your intentions. You can do that by sending an e-mail to the Webster at Alberta Family Histories Society.

Need a template to do your transcription work? Use this one in xls format (right-click to SAVE-AS to your hard drive).

Need a place to publish/share your transcription? Send your Mennonite community transcriptions to the MHSA Webster and we'll be happy to put it online for free for all. (community transcriptions for non-Mennonite communities can be sent to the AFHS webster)
