Ancestry.ca Launches Canadian Civil Servants Lists

The following announcement comes from Dick Eastman's online newsletter and ultimately comes from Ancestry.ca:

Ancestry.ca has just launched online the fully indexed Canadian Civil Servants Lists of Canada, 1872-1900, which features more than 78,000 records of those employed in departments of the Canadian Government during the country’s early days of Confederation.

The records give family history researchers a unique opportunity to find out how an ancestor’s career might have progressed and how much they earned, as well as offer personal individual information such as birth date, age, date of first appointment, years at post, promotion to present rank, creed or religion and nationality of origin.
