title: [The urban population of Quebec, 1795-1971:  origin and other census characteristics].
abstract: "This paper presents the first results of a comprehensive study devoted to the history of the population of the city and the region of Quebec, between 1795 and 1971.  Data on origin, place of birth, religion and language have been used in order to analyse the degree of homogeneity of the population.  In 1971, the Quebec region [contained] almost exclusively persons from French-Canadian origin, born in the province of Quebec, baptized in the catholic church, and speaking French.  This image of [a] highly homogeneous population should however be retouched, particularly with regard to the genetical contribution of British and especially Irish immigrants."
