www.novascotiagenealogy.caThis is a free and searchable site maintained by the Nova Scotia Archives where you can see the actual document. You may need to download a viewer program, which is free onsite, to do so.
The 1901 and 1911 Census can be accessed at
www.automatedgenealogy.caAll other census' can be found on the Library and Archives Canada site
http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/census/Pages/census.aspxThe other great site is the Latter Day Saints. Lots of Primary Records
www.familysearch.orgBe careful about online trees-they are only as good as the person doing the research. Great for suggesting research ideas but not to be taken as fact. I have one whole branch of family who were born, lived and died in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. However every online tree I have ever found has them in Yarmouth, Maine. I tried, without success, for years to correct this.
