As described in a previous Note, I bought the family pack for OS X and iLife updates even though the ‘’single” version can be installed on any number of machines.

In order to track the high rates of population growth in western Canada, the Canadian government called for a special census of the Prairie Provinces (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta).

Through this research tool you can access digitized images of original census returns, which recorded the names of family members, their sex, marital status, year of immigration to Canada, etc.
