Canadian Census Records

So many of our Maine ancestors came from across the border, and many appear in one or more of the censuses taken in Canada from 1851 to 1911. Ancestry.com has indexed images from all of these censuses in its Canadian Census Collection, but there are also some free alternatives online.
