*****The reader is advised to always check with the original Census material for possible correction of names of individuals contained in this file. The originals are very faded, in cases. Sourced Census material, appears mixed on some LDS microfilm. Other typed transcripted sourced material may contain surname spelling errors. Since the info within this file is derived from plural sources over many years, often not being of original material transcription, a caution flag must be thus placed.

P.S. The author for the earlier posted 1675 Newfoundland Census file here in this Early NL Census has realized some 1676 Census individuals, are included with the 1675 folk. The reason being, the LDS microfilm sourced; contains mixed Census info for 1675 and 1676. This current file, will be considered a correction to any discrepancy noticed in the former posted file, when compared withoriginal Census materials.
