Volunteers have indexed about half of the Ontario Tax Assessment Records, 1834-1899, on FamilySearch, and almost 40,000 records have already been made available online, which can be searched by name.
The records may include the name, age, occupation, and possibly the religious affiliation of the head of household along with information about his lands, home, family members (by age categories) crops, and animals. In the case of a person who is a tenant, the landlord’s name and occupation also appear on the record.
