There's a lot of bad transcribing on the online 1921 Canadian Census which is fully indexed and online at Ancestry.ca and Ancestry.com

Olive Tree Genealogy put up a workaround and some useful tips for finding your ancestors in the mess! See Problems With 1921 Census Indexing & How To Work Around Them

Anonymous said...: Seriously, I cannot understand how transcribing these records could be so far off from what appears on the page.

Does anyone have any idea "who" did it. I would understand a couple of off errors (heck my hand writing can be poor at times), but it is not limited to say just one province.

Very sad indeed is all I can say.; 11:16 AM
