I always find it interesting to follow a single family through the census records. It is interesting to see what has changed? Did they move? have more kids? lose a child? Buy a home? Change professions?\u00a0<\/em>In this blog, we are going to follow the family of Edouard Royer<\/a>, my 2nd great grandfather, born in Quebec, Canada in 1862.<\/p>\n

The first census that we find Edouard in is the 1871<\/strong> Census of Canada<\/strong>. Edouard is listed as 8 years old and living with his parents Vital Royer<\/a> and Marcelline (St. Pierre) Royer<\/a> in Saint-Lazare-de-Bellechasse, Quebec, Canada.<\/p>\nEdouard is the son of a Cultivateur, which is French for the word farmer. He is not attending school. Others in the household include his father Vital age 39 and his mother Marcelline age 28; his five brothers Vital age 13, Lazare age 12, Francois X. age 9, David age 5, and Sir\u00e9 age 1 and one sister Eliza age 3. Everyone in the household is listed as Catholic and of French Origin.\n\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t $\"1871$ \n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t1871 Census of Canada\n\t<\/iframe>\n\tThe next census that we find Edouard in is the 1881<\/strong> Census of Canada<\/strong>. Edouard is listed as 19 years old and living with his father Vital Royer. The family is still living in Saint-Lazare-de-Bellechasse, Quebec, Canada. \nEdouard is the son of a Cultivateur, which is french for farmer. He is not attending school. Others in the household include his father Vital age 45; his six brothers Vital age 23, Lazare age 22, Xavier (formally listed as Francois X.) age 20, David age 15, N\u00e9r\u00e9e (formally listed as Sir\u00e9) age 11, Alfred age 6 and one sister Lysa (formally listed as Eliza) age 13. Everyone in the household is listed as Catholic and of French Origin.\n\tSo let\u2019s take a look at what has changed:<\/strong> \n\n<ul>\n<li>Edouard\u2019s mother Marcelline is no longer listed on the census and his father Vital is listed as Widowed.
