Early Canadian

Tax Lists & Census Data

 

 

UPDATED AUGUST 23, 2021

 

There were various Tax rolls and lists taken, mostly in Ontario in the early to mid 1800s. None of the Censuses were indexed fully until 1871 for just Ontario and 1881 for all of Canada. The data listed here is far from complete, but every little bit is a huge help in figuring out who these Putnam and Putmans are. These entries are simply ones that people have taken time to go through data line by line till they found what they were looking for. Many thanks to these folks!
