This data set is an index to parts of the 1770, 1773, and 1778 Nova Scotia censuses. The majority of the records are from 1770. The 1770 records include parts of New Brunswick that were at the time part of Nova Scotia. Information contained in this data set includes the name of the individual, the township, district, county, and/or province in Canada under which the individual is found in the census, the page number on the microfilm the individual is found on, and the year of the census. Note: each entry may not contain all of this information.

Census records are valuable sources for genealogists because they help us locate people in a specific time and place. It is important to use the information found in this data set to locate your ancestor in the original records because original records often contain more information than do their indexes. The original records that are indexed here are located at the Public Archives of Nova Scotia in Halifax, but are also available at the Family History Library (FHL) on microfilms # 1376295 and 1376477.
