To all: Now the Olympics are over and I am "almost" pleased with Canadian results -- however, there is a next time -- looking forward to my gr.granddaughter being one of the skating team! Now, we must work! Recently, the Globe and Mail provided us with the URL of an online survey, only available until March 1, 2002. It is being conducted by the National Archives of Canada and what we would like to have available from the Archives. Click on the URL and complete -- your name and address is not requested, only part of postal code::- http://accessible.archives.ca This survey was but one item in an impressive supplement section of the Globe and Mail newpaper of Saturday 16 February 2002. This supplement contains much information about the National Archives of Canada and plans in the works for a "Canadian Genealogy Centre". Perhaps one of the most interesting lines in this supplement was in an article titled "Digitization: A Transformation for the National Archive". This line stated "To meet the insatiable national and international demand for genealogical infromation, the returns from the 1901 Canadian Census will soon be available online, free of charge." This is indeed welcome news. Welcome also is the news that online access to these records will be free of charge, unlike the online access for the records of England, Wales, and Scotland, and the commercial enterprizes offering digitized returns in the United States. Please complete your questionnaire -- even if you have done so before. Two articles are available and will forward if one contacts me privately. Muriel M.
