Where do I put questions about Scheffeville? I not good at Canada at all. I was looking in Canada census 1911 but I didnt know what district Scheffeville belongs to. Is it no easier way to search the Canada census then looking thrue every side? (Like US census where you can search on name)

Do you mean Schefferville, New Foundland? The small town is located on the border of the provinces of Quebec and NewFoundland.and Labrador....which makes things confusing..it is an isolated area...

That town is in the North of Quebec, 200 km for Labrador City and 500 km from Sept-Iles, on the Quebec side. You won't find it in the 1911 Census because it exists only since 1955 as a town because of the opening of mining operations. The actual board for Schefferville is: Quebec / Cote-Nord Board.

In 1911, the region of this part of Quebec (Cote Nord) would be in the "Chicoutimi and Saguenay" district.

By giving the details of the individual (name, dates, approx. location, etc.), maybe we can help you .

Thanks! Now I know a lot more about this area.
The man I am looking for is:
Oscar Wilhelm Bengtsson (Benson)
born:1876 in Sweden
He emigrated 1907.

From old letters I found out that he lived in Schefferville, but what years I dont know, but I have to start somewhere.
