 * 1783 Studholm Report
 * In June, 1783, Maj. Studholm sent a party of four men up the river from Fort Howe with instructions to determine who was settled upon the lands in various townships and what title they had to those lands, if any. Their report to Maj. Studholm, usually referred to by family historians today as "The Studholm Report" is an important historical document. It is, in effect, a heads of households census, and in addition provides information about land title, the loyalty or otherwise of many of the pre-Loyalist inhabitants on the river, etc., that can be found nowhere else.

Missing Census Records
The censuses for 1851–1881 are not all complete. Returns for some parishes and sometimes whole counties have not survived. A list of the surviving census returns can be found in Robert F. Fellows Researching Your Ancestors in New Brunswick, Family History Library, and WorldCat, pages 128–144,  and Genealogist's Handbook for Atlantic Canada Research, Family History Library, and WorldCat,  edited by Terrence M. Punch, pages 7–12.
