This census transcription is annotated; names that appear like this include additional information on the individual, information that is not from the census but from other records, as explained on the main page. This information will show up in a popup box when you put the cursor over the name. Names that appear like this are linked to pages on this website where you can find additional information on the individual. More information on the annotations.
This information is meant to be a guide only. Always refer to the original document for verification.


Note: Madawaska's population was made up mostly of French-speakers. The census taker was a native English speaker who was not familiar with the spelling of French names. In the annotations, or in the remarks, in parentheses, I have noted the actual spelling for those individuals for whom I have specific information. Please see also
