1861 Quebec Census

Pitre Extractions (selected areas)

Using LDS film #517358 I have extracted the Pitre/Lajambe entries for Beauharnois, LDS film #517403 for Nicolet, & LDS films #517369 & 517370 for Chateauguay. All other entries from online censuses. The 1861 Canadian census was taken on 14th January 1861, and the ages given were 'age on next birthday'. Many of the pages were very faint and difficult to read. The 'probably' column is my conclusion as to the identity of the family. Check the Pitre Descendant Tree for more information on the family.
