Hi Jay Please tell the list something about Jay and who you are researching...or perhaps you can help others in their research... Gordon Watts has put aside his personal research to help all of us in his quest to have the post 1901 census released... all could benefit from his efforts, if he is successful...He has traveled to Ottawa to attend meetings on the Census and who knows where else, at his own expense...he has spent the last three years of his life in devotion to genealogy for people all over the world...my hat goes off to him! So please tell us how we can help you...or better still...how can you help us? regards Viv in Vancouver ----- Original Message ----- From: "jm" <jmeeuwig@attcanada.net> To: <ALBERTA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 3:50 PM Subject: Re: [ALBERTA] Post 1901 Census -- Changes in Cabinet > When will we be relieved of this scourge that keeps rearing its ugly head? > No, I am not talking about the members of parliament who were elected by > the Canadian people.
