BIG CARRIBOO ISLAND 1838 CENSUS
The 1838 census for Big Carriboo
Island covered seven principal households as far as I can tell.
The details are sparse, and the enumerator's math leaves something to
be desired. It appears, however, that roughly 40-50 people
lived on the island at the time. The key information is listed
below. For the actual image, click here: Actual Image
