1906 census query
« on: Friday 12 January 18 09:24 GMT (UK) »
Dear Rootschatters

I'd like to be able to see who was living at Blackfalds, Alberta in 1906, but I'm struggling to search the census as it's not searchable by place.

I don't have a name of a person I'm looking for - I'm interested because my immigrant said on the incoming passenger list that he was heading for Blackfalds, so I'd like to see if I can figure out if he was headed for anyone familiar.

And I'm completely flummoxed by the grid system in use!  Could someone send me a link to the appropriate page in the census please?

thanks!

Blackfalds lies in Township 39, Range 37, West of the 4th Meridian.  You can see all of the pages in the 1906 Census - Strathcona District, Sub-District 33 (which includes Blackfalds) here:
