This transcription should be of particular interest to those with Bonin, Boucher, Boudrot, Burke, Cordeau, Dugas, Fougere, Landry, Patis, Sampson, and Thibeau roots. There were 225 families recorded in the 1891 River Bourgeois census.
Unless otherwise noted, all recorded individuals were shown born in Nova Scotia and of the Roman Catholic religion.
