Got so excited when I saw this post that 1881 census images are now available that I went straight to L.A.C. site and typed in one of my uncommon surnames in Nova Scotia. Sure enough up came a listing of 49 people with the surname. Then I spotted one that I didn't know- 40 year old Jainshas?? (female)- so I went to the page and found her- 49 year old Jerusha! Didn't notice anywhere to submit corrections as in Automated Genealogy site which is a shame.

P.S. while 'Jerusha' is not a common name as was a bit difficult to read the '49' was extremely clear and there's not doubt what it is.

Thanks Karen and Tom,
It's exciting to have the 1881 census at hand. It saves me putting more gas in the car ;D ... I'm also looking forward to seeing the rest of the census on-line.
