THE ABOVE LINKS ARE BROKEN. These had been off-site links to the Archives of Ontario's RG-100 Patent Plans. In 2023 the A of O replaced the 'Archives Descriptive Database' with the 'AIMS' database. Please direct inquiries to the Archives of Ontario quoting the RG 1-100 collection and urging for restoration of *large-sized* map images. (I'm always happy to hear from you too).

The names on these maps are not transcribed for the HeritagePIN databases.

No pre-Confederation era maps have been found, or are known to have been published. See the hand-drawn Patent Maps.

This Township is not included in the 1878 HASTINGS & PRINCE EDWARD, by H. Belden.

Maps at McGill University's Digital Atlas Project cover the Post-Confederation period (late for the scope of this project). Names of land-owners are transcribed at McGill's site.

Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Resources has placed online “Historical” (undated) Mining Claim Maps. They may be helpful for locating Concessions and Lots in northern townships.

Finding Aid | (enumerated, but no Ag)

Library and Archives Canada originally had provided this list of LINKS to the 1851 Agricultural Schedule IMAGES. Up until 2024, Names from Agricultural Schedules had been indexed for a District (County-wide) search. Now researchers must manually view the images per Sub-District (Township-wide).
 
The former LAC search form, above, pre-filtered by Township and set to return the Agricultural Schedule results, cannot be made operational in the 2024 database. I will be watching for a restoration of function. Here is a pre-set search form for the 1851 Census, Ontario-wide. (Then, hit 'Modify Search').
 
Please view the images as per the link given in the first paragraph. Do back up your files and research, as links and indexes are disappearing without acknowledgement or remedy.

* The LAC search form is had been pre-set to search NAMES in this District, and within Agricultural schedules only. However, these indexes are significantly incomplete (and rendered even more unreliable in 2024). I recommend searching the 1861 Ag Schedule IMAGES by page number, in the chart, above.

In 2024 LAC has moved to a new Census Search utility. Here is a pre-set search form for the 1861 Census, Ontario-wide. (Then, hit 'Modify Search'). I will be adjusting search links at each township's page, but only to the Ag Schedule results by District (county) level.

Contact me with questions, linking errors, solutions you've found, etc. LAC had invited feedback during its transition process; now that it has abandoned the former database without ensuring the integrity and efficacy of their new system, they should be the receiver of complaints.

Important: See FINDING AID – involves a few steps.

This census search is essential - you will need to find the farmer's name in the regular schedule of households, then view an image of that census page to catch the Enumeration Division, Page and Line number.
 
Use the FamilySearch Index and images, instead (free account, login required).


* The Enumeration Division number must match the Division of the corresponding Sched. 1 Personal Census.

Enumerators weren't always consistent in recording District- and Division information at the tops of the pages. To confirm Division number, check previous pages or rely on indexed information at Ancestry or FamilySearch.

heritagePIN PROJECT DATABASES | Project Goals and Progress




HeritagePIN has a number of Name Transcription Projects on the go since 2008. The time period of study is Pre-Confederation (1867). Since Ontario's civil records program took some years to fully implement, this time period has been extended to include Ontario's documented inhabitants prior to the mid-1870's.

Transcribed surnames are searchable at each Township's page

MAPS | project

I had been able to photograph several of the (brittle) Pre-Confederation maps at various universities and archives, and by 2016 the University of Toronto has made images available ONLINE for many more!

The names in these databases have been transcribed by me personally, and include names from the inset town maps, and indexes of subscribers, located in the margins of each map.

 
DIRECTORIES & GAZETTEERS | project


Likewise, with historical directories, names have been transcribed by eye, not by OCR (conversion to text). They include those entries for individuals living in towns and cities.

 
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES


Where maps and directories are sparse for a township, or for an early time period, the Databases are supplemented with record-sets * that show names and Concession/Lot locations *. These include early Land Grant/Patents, and Agricultural Census returns.
