1901 Census of Canada
According to Library and Archives Canada, the 1901 Census marked the fourth national collection of statistics following Confederation (1867) and officially began on March 31, 1901. The Census was taken in British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and the Territories. Of the eleven schedules used to collect data, only two -- Population and Buildings & Lands -- have been fully preserved. The surviving paper records were microfilmed in 1955 and the originals destroyed.

In the images at left taken from the 1901 Census of Canada, Anahareo's grandmother, Catherine Bernard (Catherine Papineau), age 71, is at the head of one household and Anahareo's father, Mattieu Bernard (Matthew Bernard), age 34, is at the head of another. Unlike previous censuses, the 1901 Census includes date of birth as well as age, and also lists information relating to employment status, earnings, and languages.
Catherine's household includes two daughters, Louise (43) and M. Catherine (21); and one son, Poll (Paul) (31). The household also includes two adopted children, William (11) and Patricia (8). William is likely the same child who was living in Catherine's household as a "lodger" in 1891.
Matthew's household includes his wife Marie Bernard (Mary Ockiping) (24) and two children, Marilouise (Mary Louise) (3) and Joanna (Johanna) (3 months).
