To all:- I know all are busily gathering MANY signatures, whether these be English, French, Senate, House of Commons or Non-Resident -- with all the happenings of the past while, we must look ahead in order to do research further back. The above sounds like a mixed-up statement, but we must work now to regain what belongs to us -- OUR census records. The 1911 is supposed to be released in 2003 -- WE have to make certain all will listen to us. That is in the future, and the 1911 census is our past. If you have not done so, download Adobe Acrobat and petitions http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Petition.htm Just follow directions and get them to us ASAP. 2003 is also very important to many of us -- our ancestors arrived in Halifax from 1750 onwards, but founded Meriliguish (Lunenburg) in June, 1753. The 250th anniversary of the founding will be in 2003 -- again, we must look ahead to see a glimpse of our past. While everyone is busily signing petitions, the following site has beautiful photos of the South Shore of Nova Scotia (my home) and many of Lunenburg. When you see the pictorial shots of Lunenburg, you will realize when YOU attend the 250th reunion at Lunenburg, all shoes must be "UPHILL WALKERS". Enjoy the following -- but keep signing petitions:- Great photos of South Shore, Nova Scotia http://community.webshots.com/album/17534438CziTlZcTEv Happy Thanksgiving to all -- now I am off to Sunnybrook Veteran's Wing to visit my husband.

Hi all, I'm new here, so please be gentle. I have a possible marriage between Edward Frank NORSTER and Minnie (Minna) May BUSBY some time between 1901 and 1912, probably in Edmonton. Could anyone please tell me the method (and cost) of obtaining the details of this marriage. or could SKS look up the details for me....

Greetings All. I am trying a new tactic and have sent the following News Release to most of the major daily newspapers and television stations across Canada. I have not sent it to any of the weekly or community papers. Feel free to forward it to your local papers. Please remove this message before doing so. Thank you for your interest and support. Gordon A. Watts gordon_watts@telus.net Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee Port Coquitlam, BC http://globalgenealogy.com/Census en francais http://globalgenealogy.com/Census/Index_f.htm Permission to forward without notice is granted. ================================== News Release of Canada Census Committee Contact: Gordon A. Watts 604-942-6889 Saturday 6 October 2001 Industry Minister Brian Tobin is not endearing himself to the hearts of the estimated 7.5 million Canadians who have an interest in genealogy and family history. His refusal to respond to the concerns of many thousands seeking to regain public access to Historical Census Records, 92 years following collection, or to even acknowledge them, has angered a great many people. The first decade of the Twentieth Century showed the greatest influx of immigrants in the history of Canada, with 1,819,930 immigrants from 49 different ethnic origins. A further 1,573,432 came in the second decade. Without access to these vital Census records descendants of these immigrants my never know their origins. The Privacy Act of Canada allows individual level information from Census records to be made public 92 years following collection, provided that the records are under the control of the National Archivist. 235 years of Census records, all that survive from the first Census of New France in 1666 up to and including the 1901 Census of Canada are under control of the National Archives and are available to any person or body for purposes of research. It was expected that the Special Western Census of 1906 would have been released in 1998, and that the 1911 and subsequent National Censuses would be released on a continuing basis, 92 years after collection. Statistics Canada, however, refuses to turn control of any Census taken after 1901 over to the National Archivist. They do so because of misinterpreted legislation dating back as far as 1905, and their unsubstantiated claim that the government of Sir Wilfred Laurier made a promise that information from Census would never be released. While asked to do so, neither they, nor anyone else, have been able produce any documented evidence of such a promise. It had been hoped that the Report of the Expert Panel on Access to Historical Census Data would be the key to resolving this issue that has been ongoing since at least the 1970s. This report by an independent panel of experts headed by Dr. Richard Van Loon was commissioned in November 1999 by then Industry Minister John Manley. The panel unanimously supported the public access to the 92 year old records sought by genealogists and historians. Following an Access to Information Request their Report was reluctantly made public 15 December 2000 by now Industry Minister Brian Tobin. At the same time, Mr. Tobin issued a News Release that dismissed the recommendations of the Report of the Expert Panel, and stated “further broad based consultation with all Canadians is needed. This consultation will take place as part of the already announced administrative and legislative review of the Access to Information and the Privacy Acts.” The stated consultations have not been forthcoming. On 26 March 2001, members of the Access to Information Act Review Task Force informed participants of a roundtable discussion not to expect much to be said in their final report regarding public access to Historical Census Records. They advised that it did not form a part of their mandate. No similar review of the Privacy Act is known. Many attempts have been made, sent simultaneously by email, fax, and Canada Post, to obtain clarification regarding these consultations from Brian Tobin. To date he has refused to respond to, or even acknowledge receipt of, these requests. It would appear, however, that Mr. Tobin has changed his mind on how he intends to conduct his ‘broad based discussions with all Canadians’. On 19 September 2001, the Senate Standing Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology held hearings on Senator Lorna Milne’s Bill S-12, ‘An Act to amend the Statistics Act and the National Archives of Canada Act (census records).’ During testimony before this Committee Michael Sheridan, Assistant Chief Statistician of Canada, stated “we are arranging for an independent consultant to conduct town hall meetings across the country, starting this fall, to find out how ordinary Canadians feel and what those ordinary Canadians want. Town hall meetings will be supplemented with focus groups to test various alternatives.” There is concern that these town hall meetings and focus groups will be manipulated, by the information provided and questions asked, in order to elicit negative responses. Anyone reading the Environics Research reports on the focus groups and ‘national’ surveys conducted by Statistics Canada on behalf of the Expert Panel on Access to Historical Census Records can see evidence of such manipulation. The Canada Census Committee, representing many thousands of Canadians, calls upon Brian Tobin and the government of Canada to accept the recommendations contained in the Report of the Expert Panel on Access to Historical Census Records. We further call upon them to either accept Bill S-12 as a government Bill, or to bring forth their own Bill that reflects the recommendations contained in the Report of the Expert Panel. ……. 30 ============================ The Canada Census Committee is an adhoc committee made up of concerned genealogists and historians from across Canada. Co-Chair Gordon A. Watts retired from B C Telephone in 1996 and has been an amateur genealogist since 1990. He has spent the past four years extensively researching the issue of public access to Post 1901 Census records and is a leader of a campaign to regain that access. He participated in roundtable discussions relating to the Access to Information Act Review in Ottawa on 26 March 2001, and appeared before the Senate Standing Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology in support of Bill S-12 on 19 September 2001.

Hi All The reason for me posting this is that I have on loan for awhile two books. If there is anyone on the list who has a rellie in that would have been in Alberta at these times,please contact me. One is called " Proof of Age Documents in Alberta" A surname index 1863-1969. Published in cooperation with the Provincial Archives. The book may list a date and year for a birth, Immigration, Naturalization,and notice of death. Not every name has this info but alot do...then it gives you the exact document number that you would need to order a copy of the document.Some of them also list a nationality beside the type of certificate. Very neat book, so if anyone is needing something looked up please let me know and I will send you info if its in the book. There are literally thousands of names in here. The second book is the "Index to Birth, Marriage, and Death Registrations PRIOR to 1900. This book lists the surname, the associated name (if there is one), the event/date, place of registry. This book is even twice the size of the other. First one is 208 pages and second is 447, so there are lots of names in here. I will only have this for a short while and meantime am going to look into purchasing my own. Please get back to me if you need a lookup. Take care everyone, Elaine in Alberta, Canada

Don't fall for that. My cousin got a similar letter, in Germany. Someone from Africa wrote something similar, he was going to take his share of the account and all that stuff.

No i would not answer some thing like that because it sounded to good to be true and all i could think about was Bin Laden or what ever his name was. But i sent the email on to a cousin. Now like a dork she answered them but told me she didnt. Oh well i think i done the right thing and i want to thank all of you for your good advice. Viola.

Well thwarted again. Probably spelled that big word wrong to. But last few days have had no mind!! Did not see my family names. So go on as usual Viola and get crazy emails and whammy not!!All i can think about is Bin Laden or what ever his name is!! You see i got an email from Isa Yusuf!! Seems a man named Erikson was killed in plane crash some years back and he had 6,240,000.00 in the bank. The money was frozen because he had no family. Well Isa wants me to write and say im related to Erikson and the money will go into my bank account. But then in a few days they will take their share out. Now whats wrong here??? Am not the smartest person in the world but im not totaly brain dead. Viola.

Good Morning Viola., Please do not respond to that message. It is considered a Hoax. I do believe that I read or heard on T.V. - that officials were concerned about these messages - not because of terrorism - but because of fraud. Never - Ever respond to anything like this - Why would they get in touch with us - they don't know us - they find our e mail addresses - and hope to find someone who will fall for this SCAM. Our Better Business Bureau - talked about this during a news show. Perhaps - you should contact the Better Business Bureau in your area - They probably have a file - . Don't give them your bank account # - Don't respond to their mail. Cheers, Stella At 12:14 PM 10/5/01 -0500, Viola Seward wrote: >Well thwarted again. Probably spelled that big word wrong to.

Does anyone have access or know about the train wreck that occured in 1911 January near Gleichen Alberta. I would like to have more information on this as I had family on that train. Any information is helpful. Email me personally if you like... Thanks Kathy

Could anyone tell me what the Catholic Church at Bow Island is/was. I am looking for early 1900 dates.? Thanks Adrienne

Greetings All. In excess of 150 files for the Post 1901 Census Project website have today been loaded on the server. New totals are shown for the MP and Senator Scoreboards Many correspondence logs for Senators and Members of Parliament have been updated. I continue to work on website files and before I get up to date there will probably be at least another 150 changes. I hope to update the sample letters shortly and after that will continue work on expanding the French language pages. Your help in sending us the letters you write, and in particular any responses you get from MPs and Senators is greatly appreciated. I look forward to seeing responses to the many letter sent in recent days. It is important to keep the pressure on the politicians so they do not think we have forgotten the Census issue. Petitions are still important and since presenting the last batch to MP Murray Calder during my time in Ottawa, several more have come in. In excess of 22,000 signatures have been presented to the Senate and the House of Commons. Many more are needed. Keep them coming. With your help we will achieve our goal. The URL for the Post 1901 Census Project Website follows my signature. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.

Hello Alberta Listers, New to the list, I'm searching for information on the Canadian family of one of my English ancestors. Frederick BIDDLECOMBE born Padbury, Buckinghamshire, 1890. Joined the 50th Battalion Canadian (Infantry?) Calgary 22 June 1913 as 43341D Private Biddlecombe. Father: Alfred BIDDLECOMBE born Romsey, Hampshire. Mother: Emily EDMONDS born Padbury, Bucks. I have a little information on the English side of this family if you'd care to share. Judith, Texas

MEMO MAY BE FORWARDED AND/OR TRANSLATED To all:- One of the youngest active Census Campaign workers is NAT SMITH, who will shortly be 18, I believe. A sample of his work PROSPECT may be found under Nova Scotia Links at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/ Senator Lorna Milne's Bill S-12 has had Second Reading, survived Committee examination and we now need YOUR assistance. The Bill is to have the 1911 and later census records to be automatically transferred to National Archives for all searching for ancestors. Many signatures on PETITIONS are needed to support her:- http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Petition.htm [Both Senate and House of Commons petitions may be used] CHURCHES:- As many denominations have sealed records, census records could be the only way of searching for ancestors, except for cemetery inscription transcriptions. This in no way conflicts with religious beliefs -- we all have ancestors -- name of church to be given. TEACHERS:- In Nat Smith's school in Halifax, the teachers welcomed the subject as CURRENT -- there is a great deal of information at http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census Print any section you desire, especially "What's It All About" Also check "Other Sites" and Submissions -- Genetically Inherited Diseases STUDENTS:- There is no age limit about signing petitions -- we like to see the younger people becoming interested in family history. I will reply to all young people, who, like Nat Smith, who wish to surprise family members. (Privately, not to the list, please) Names of ALL schools should be given, see Page 2 of the petition, "Signatures gathered at" and then write name of school, also one submitting signed petitions. If an e-mail address is given, I will reply. Looking forward to more petitions from churches, teachers and school students. Muriel M. Davidson <davidson3542@home.com> Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Index6.htm http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Senscore1.htm

Hi Everyone, I am looking for any information on the family of JAMES ROCKLEY and MARY ELIZABETH ROCKLEY (nee GRUNDY) They emigrated from Nottingham England to Calgary Alberta about 1913. They had one son at the time BILLY ROCKLEY. He married Rose last name unknown they had three children. JIM, KITTY, and MURIAL. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Janet (nee Grundy) Washington State USA

To all:- Gordon Watts posted a memo earlier today, announcing a new GOLD TICK AWARD -- designed to help all of us keep up to date. It takes a great deal of his time to prepare the pages for being updated by Global Genealogy -- and in that time period we could be sending letters requesting support for both C-312 and S-12. It is suggested the Scoreboard pages be printed -- then when Gordon publishes the next recipients of the GOLD TICK AWARD we will be able to keep up-to-date. Senator Lorna Milne fully approves this new type of list. Muriel M.
