Canada Census, 1911 https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/2143998

Cite This Collection

"Recensement du Canada de 1911." Database. FamilySearch. http://FamilySearch.org : 4 December 2023. Library and Archives of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario.

It should read "Canada Census, 1911"

I was born and brought up in an ENGLISH speaking household.

I DO NOT understand french.

    Is this another part of the ongoing issues with source titles?

    I went to an example on https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QV9P-99TV where at the left it says

    If the collection is "Canada Census, 1911", isn't it plain wrong to have the citation to something entirely different - "Recensement du Canada de 1911"? (I'm just looking at the URL in question, not at how it would come through to a person's profile - I believe that I'm entitled to ask for consistency there. After all, if the titles are different, they might be two different collections?

    At the top of the screen for that URL I see

    That suggests it's the "Canada Census, 1911", as implied by the collection name.

    Again, let me emphasise, that this is nothing to do with the language - I fully expect the French version of the site to shew the titles in French. This is about the citations being correct and matching across the board.

    The citation references the Library and Archives of Canada. It may be a matter of the record set being described in both languages on the LAC site and the reference pulled from the French version.

    I have requested a review of the citation due to both French and English being present. We don't know how long that will take, but I will let you know when I hear back. Thanks.
