Automated Genealogy
Automated Genealogy hosts several projects to index Canadian censuses.
The 1901 Census was the first census that LAC released images for. Transcription has been completed proofreading in progress
Transcription is now complete, proofreading is in progress.
The 1906 Census was a special census of the three prairie provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Transcription is essentially complete, proofreading has not yet started.
1851 Census
Censuses were planned for 1851 for the then separate colonies of Canada (current day Ontario and Quebec), New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. The census of Canada was delayed until early 1852 so it is variously refered to as the 1851 or 1852 Census. Indexing of the 1852 census was started in August 2007. Indexing of the 1851 Census of New Brunswick was started in June 2007 and is over two thirds done. Indexing of the 1851 Census of Nova Scotia, which is a head-of-household-only census, has not yet begun.
An interesting feature of the site is the ability to link various records associated with a person together. This is done through the Link Centre. Projects are underway to link records from several sources as well as between the censuses.
The linking projects include:

- Canadian Virtual War Memorial Linking
- RCAF Honours & Awards
- Canadians Serving with British Flying Services during WWI
