In the images at left taken from the 1911 Census of Canada, Anahareo's uncle, Paul Bernard (41), is at the head of a household that includes his wife, Tessie (Teresa) (25); three daughters -- Mary Agnes (2), Irene (8 months), and Mary Lizzie (15); Anahareo's grandmother, Mary Catherine (79); and a son, Patrick (19).

Tessie is Anahareo's aunt by blood as well as marriage, as she is Anahareo's mother's younger sister. Tessie and Paul were married in 1907; as such, Mary Lizzie and Patrick are not likely products of this marriage. Rather, it has been suggested that they are the children of Paul's brother, John, who died in a log run on the Madawaska river.

This page of the census was taken on June 12, 1911, five months before Anahareo's mother passed away. It is not known at this time where Anahareo or her family are as they do not appear in the Census lists for either Mattawa or Papineau.

In the images at left taken from the 1911 Census of Canada, Anahareo's aunt, Mrs. Louis Decaire (Elizabeth Decaire) (54), is listed at the head of a household that includes two single daughters -- Agnes (32) and Mary (22); two single sons -- Samuel (29) and John (13); a married daughter, Lizzie (24) and her husband, William Petrant (29); a grandson, Ellis (10 months); and a cousin, Peter Nelson (34).

It is believed, but not confirmed, that Anahareo's aunt Elizabeth helped to take care of Anahareo when her grandmother, Catherine, was no longer able to do so due to advanced age. Unfortunately, the timing of the censuses is such that there are no clues contained in the historical document; by the time the next census was taken, in 1921, Anahareo's father had reunited the family in his own household.

Alternatively, given that Anahareo's grandmother is part of her Aunt Tessie's household in both the 1911 and 1921 Censuses, it is possible that she is the "Aunt Bessie" to whom Anahareo referred.
