Hi Judith. Thanks to Muriel's perserverance we have a rep. on the Committee for Newfoundland now. It is paying off. Would like to see some more effort on the part of some other provinces. The largest part (1090) of the current signatures for Alberta were those from the AGS. Have not received the ones from AFHS yet, but am looking forward to them. Thanks to all for your support.

Some other provinces obviously need some improvement. Course I'm snapping my genealogical suspenders with pride at the good Alberta showing right now. We prairie folk really need to get the 1906 and later censuses. But I'd really like to congratulate Nfld for getting on the board. After all, they are much less affected by the census release censure than the rest of the country. Having joined the Confederation much later, they can and have released data to at least 1921. > Previous Current Total > > AB 52 1188 1240 > NF 166 00 166 > ========================================== > Totals 1185 2239 3424 Table above snipped to suit me. :-) -- Judii Rempel rempel@jrsolutions.net Russian Mennonite Genealogy: <http://members.home.com/rempel/> Mennonite Historical Society of Alberta: <http://www.rootsweb.com/~abmhsa/> Alberta Family Histories Society <http://www.afhs.ab.ca> Canadian Genealogical Projects Registry <http://www.afhs.ab.ca/registry/> JR Solutions: <http://www.jrsolutions.net> Canadian Population Society: <http://www.canpopsoc.org>
