Hi List Can I add that not only should we all tick the box Re: Retention of Census. But actually take our individual census and make a photocopy of it and put it away for future reference. I have previously copied my 1986, 1991, 1996 and 2001 census. Which my two teenage boys find interesting reading just recently. I just store them with all my other family history information, and treat it as another primary source of information. Just remember how precious to us the 1828 census is. Treat the 2006 Census exactly the same. Regards Garry Sanders Kariong, NSW
