To all:- PETITIONS are starting to come again -- some from Canada, some from parts of United States. We cannot over-emphasize the need for these signatures on petitions, whether for the Senate or the House of Commons. Signatures are PROOF we want the Post-1901 census records released. http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Petition.htm Why do we keep saying "Post-1901"? Three provinces of Canada: Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba have never had a Canadian census -- their special 1906 census should have been released in 1998 -- not allowed by StatsCan. There are earlier records, many on Alberta sites, but under different names, e.g. North-West Territories, Assiniboine - even Hudson's Bay. The main cross-Canada census would be the 1911 one -- and should the 1921 and 1931 also be released, it would not make me unhappy. Senator Milne tells me I want to see my name on a census record, but this would bring it in line with United States 1930 one. Keep the petitions coming, please -- Gordon and I exchange petitions, and should there be a real need for House of Commons ones which have been sent to me, do not worry! I will tabulate, send them via Senator Milne to Murray Calder and tell Gordon later (in print). Above all, please change my e-mail address now - as of Nov. 22 <davidson3542@rogers.com> [We will receive mail until Nov. 30] Muriel M. Davidson <davidson3542@home.com> Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee
