When searching any database, you must determine what information is provided. The 1901 Canadian census images are available online, but the images are difficult to read and in some cases it is not clear what the columns mean. To help identify the information it is useful to print out the blank census forms at FamilySearch.com. Blank forms are available for 1851, 1861, 1871&1881, 1891, and 1901. The Ontario GenWeb also has blank census forms at http://ontariocensus.rootsweb.ancestry.com

I like the idea of the volunteer 1901-1906 census indexing project at ◊automatedgenealogy.com. This site presents the volunteer with the census image and an input form on the same page. The volunteer looks at the screen at the top of the page and types in the form at the bottom of the page. Nice job!  Their 1901 index is at http://automatedgenealogy.com/census

Much of the 1901 census and some of the 1891 census are indexed, but are available only by subscription for a fee at Ancestry.com.
