BITS 'N PIECES:
 
Library and Archives Canada is announcing that the 1931 Census of Canada is now online. This is an important moment for genealogy enthusiasts.
 
We also encourage you to begin browsing the contents of the 1931 Census and to share stories of your community.
 
This milestone is only the beginning! Currently, users can browse the digitized images by district and sub-district. Later this year, LAC will incorporate the fully indexed and searchable images into its new one-stop-shop tool for national census records: Census Search. This step will make searching easier and more intuitive for all users regardless of their level of genealogical knowledge.
 
We invite you to visit our Preparing the 1931 Census web page regularly, as well as our 1931 Census blog series, to stay up to date on the status of this project.
 
Should you have any questions, please reach out to our genealogy team by using our Ask genealogy a question online form.

Capital Branch created a cook book in 2003. For this 20th anniversary it has been re-released on our website. Besides great recipies, the cook book is generously sprinkled with witty wisdom and advice, and tidbits of genealogical information connecting recipies to ancestors. The answer to the genealogical question on page 95 is "Yes". Page 44 tells you how an old bachelor can attract a maiden lady with homemade doughnuts, and on page 64 is a recipe involving peanut butter, six-year-olds and a clean floor! Go to the Capital Branch section to view the cook book.
