A summary of the instructions to the census enumerators and the column headings are included in the Introduction to the database under Interpreting the Records. A blank 1901 Canadian census form can be downloaded for free from the FamilySearch [http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/Rg/frameset_rg.asp?Dest=G1&Aid=& Gid=&Lid=&Sid=&Did=&Juris1=&Event=&Year=&Gloss=&Sub=&Tab=&Entry=&Guide= FCan1901.ASP] web site. Some such as the Ontario Genealogical Society [http://www.ogs.on.ca/publications/researchforms.html], sell paper copies of blank forms.
