In addition to counting the inhabitants of an area, the census generally collects other vital information, such as names, ages, citizenship status, and ethnic background. Each census can prove to be invaluable in painting a portrait of a family at a particular place and time. Types of Records The census collections include censuses for a variety of years and locations:
Family History Society of Newfoundland and Labrador. Newfoundland and Labrador GenWeb. Newfoundland Genealogy. Newfoundland Genealogy. Newman and Company. The Newman Family originated from Totnes, Devon but by the end of the fourteenth century were living in Dartmouth, South Devon.
They established an import and export trade mainly in cloth and wool. By the early 1500's Thomas Newman began importing European wines in exchange for fish and salt. There began the relationship between the family and the Newfoundland fish trade. By the seventeenth century John Newman was sending his own fishing vessels to Newfoundland. In 1601 Richard Newman was granted fishing rights off "Newman's Rock" on the south coast. The practice of sending shipments of port wine to Newfoundland began about 1679 when a Newman ship left Portugal bound for England with a shipment of Port Wine.
By 1679 the firm expanded with another Dartmouth family the Roopes and became Roopes and Newman, by 1700 this partnership became Robert Newman and Company. World Tree Project: My Database. International Genealogy Sleuth.
Historian Activities in Nova Scotia. From 1750-1752, German, French and Swiss colonists were brought by the British government to settle in Nova Scotia.

South Shore Genealogical Society. Nova Scotia - German Passenger Lists. From 1750-1752, twelve ship loads of Germans arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia, as part of an attempt at colonization of the territory by protestant Germans.
The most comprehensive study of these Germans was done by Winthrop Pickard Bell and published in his book, The "foreign Protestants" and the settlement of Nova Scotia : the history of a piece of arrested British colonial policy in the eighteenth century, 1961. Much of the genealogical information on the colonists that he used in his study is found in four volumes in the Public Archives of Nova Scotia (MG 1, no. 109-111, but also on microfilm at the Family History Library #1421430).
