Luella, I believe what is meant here by attachments is the digest attachment won't open. Debbie receives her mail on Digest, Debbie if you would be interested in changing to List Mode, you would receive each email individually, we are not a busy list so you wouldn't be inundated with emails. Let me know I will be more than happy to switch you, the list members are very helpful, and will help if they can.

To all:- Today is one that is filled with varied activities - some which interest many readers. Parliament --with all its pomp and pageantry -- resumes with a Speech from the Throne given by The Rt. Hon. Adrienne Clarkson, Governor-General at 3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. The Opening of Parliament will be on national television. Believe me, what one may see on television today is not the regular working habits of the House of Commons. Although we do not have an active census bill at present, we need to remind our Members of Parliament we desire and need the 1911 Canadian census records -- hopefully these will soon be transferred to National Archives. http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Index6.htm Also, who knows if Wiarton Willie or another groundhog in some other area will predict more winter or an early spring -- today should be a day of contrasts!!

To all:- There will be an extended edition of the NATIONAL on CBC News Wednesday February 4, 2004 -- featuring 'YOUR TURN WITH THE PRIME MINISTER' http://www.cbc.ca/national/ Canadians will be able to personally [WE HOPE] be able to ask his or her questions in a special forum set up by CBC NEWSWORLD and CBC TV with answers to be given by our new Prime Minister, The Rt. Hon. Paul Martin. One suggested question:- "Will your government finally direct Chief Statistician Ivan P. Fellegi to obey the laws of Canada and direct him to return care and control of Historic Census Records to the National Archivist for subsequent unrestricted public access 92 years after collection?" The 1911 census records are very important due to the unidentified 75,000 Home Children -- only 25,000 have been found to date. We will all be listening and should you have a webcam, include the information when you submit your question -- YOU might be able to have a personal interview with our Prime Minister. Please let us know how many are interested -- we want to know. Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/post1901census.htm

THANK YOU

Greetings All. Since posting my letter to the Prime Minister this morning I have received a number of messages asking permission to copy my letter with the name of the requester in place of mine. To simply do this would, in my view, make it appear that a form letter had been prepared and sent out, and the effect would be to reduce the impact of the message. I encourage everyone to write their letters to the PM. If you want to send him a copy of my letter, that is fine. It should, however, be sent intact with my signature on it. When doing this, include a cover letter using your own words to express your support for the position stated in my letter. Anyone may feel free to forward anything I write regarding the Census issue to wherever they feel it may be of help. Happy Hunting. Gordon A. Watts gordon_watts@telus.net Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee Port Coquitlam, BC http://globalgenealogy.com/Census en français http://globalgenealogy.com/Census/Index_f.htm ================================ PLEASE heed Gordon's request!! If you copy HIS letter, your efforts would be wasted -- File 13 very definitely! I have suggested "putting in one's own word" the various dates and other data Gordon has mentioned. However, please do your own letters -- even a peek at the scoreboards would provide information for several paragraphs. If using e-mail -- that is alright, as long as you print the e-mail and post it as well -- after you add your signature!!! Should anyone wish a copy of Gordon's letter for BACKGROUND information, please contact me -- but copy only TITLE and ADDRESS.

It would be appreciated is all genealogists wrote a letter to our new Prime Minister, Paul Martin -- he may be found at http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Score4.htm#PQ Postage FREE -- regardless of size of envelope. [The only person NOT appointed by the Prime Minister is the Speaker of the House of Commons] Muriel M. Davidson -- co-chair, Canada Census Committee ============ Letter to Prime Minister follows ===== Greetings All. I copy below FYI a letter mailed to Prime Minister Paul Martin this morning. Happy Hunting. Gordon ================================= 19 January 2004 Right Honourable Paul Martin, Office of the Prime Minister 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A2 Dear Sir: On 9 May 2003 the Ottawa Citizen newspaper reported on an address you made to the Crossing Boundaries conference on e-democracy (page A4 - "Leave decision-making alone, Martin warns PS" - Katherine May). In that article you were reported as having stated that the public service is not an "alternate legislature" and should stick to consulting Canadians on policy, but leave the decision-making to MPs. It was further reported you had made it clear to public servants that MPs should be as involved as bureaucrats in talking to and "consulting" Canadians on policy, but it's the job of MPs - not bureaucrats to make the policy decisions. While some might consider your reported comments to have been simply political rhetoric in your bid for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada you are now in the unique position, as Prime Minister of Canada, to put into practice what you preach. I call upon you now to do exactly that. Canadians have been 'consulted' regarding public access to Historic Census Records for more than twenty-five years. Consultations in the late 1970s resulted in clauses in the Access to Information and Privacy Acts that make specific provision for public access to personal information provided to Census, 92 years after collection. Those consultations, and the passage of Bill C-43 in 1980 through 1983 saw the release and unrestricted public access of the 1891 and 1901 Census records. Canadians were consulted in 1999 and 2000 - this time through an Expert Panel on Access to Historic Census Records appointed by then Industry Minister John Manley. The Expert Panel recommended unrestricted access to all Census Records - past, present and future - 92 years after collection. Canadians were consulted in December 2001 and January 2002, through a series of Town Hall Meetings conducted by Statistics Canada. At those meetings 151 of 157 presenters supported unrestricted public access to Historic Census Records. At the same time they rejected a number of conditions and restrictions to that access that had been put forth for comment by Statistics Canada. Through all these consultations Canadians have made it very clear that they desire the same unrestricted public access to Post-1901 Census records, 92 years after collection, that has been available for 235 years of records up to that time. This was made clear also through more than 62,000 signatures on petitions to the House of Commons and the Senate, and through untold numbers of personal communications to Members of Parliament and Senators. So many letters and email have been sent to our Parliamentary representatives that a number of times we were advised that they received more correspondence on the Census access issue than on any other subject. What has been the result of all these consultations, representations and recommendations? For the most part they have been ignored. More than that - certain senior bureaucrats have actively opposed the recommendations made. A Government Bill finally put forward would have allowed access to the records sought. Unfortunately the Bill included conditions and restrictions on that access that Canadians had previously rejected. Because of the wording of the Bill, particularly insofar as the conditions and restrictions is concerned, it is believed that the major player in the drafting of it was Dr. Ivan P. Fellegi - Chief Statistician of Canada. Ivan Fellegi has refused requests by National Archivist Ian E. Wilson to return the records in question to his care and control. By that refusal we believe the Chief Statistician to be in contravention of at least four Statutes of Canada. I include with this letter a summary of pertinent sections of Statutes that affect public access to Historic Census records. Mr. Prime Minister, we remind you of your statement that it is not the job of bureaucrats to make policy decisions. We call upon you to direct the Chief Statistician of Canada, Dr. Ivan P. Fellegi, to immediately obey the Laws of Canada, specifically the National Archives Act, the Access to Information Act, and the Privacy Act and Regulations attached thereto. We call upon you to direct Dr. Fellegi to immediately return care and control of Canada's Historic Census records to the National Archivist so that they might be released for public access 92 years after collection. Sincerely, Gordon A. Watts Co-chair, Canada Census Committee

Does anyone have any information on the family/descendants of Captain Frederic Williams, mentioned in Savary on page 91? He married Eleanor Pell and was a Loyalist who came to Annapolis about 1782 and then moved to Digby area in 1785. I am trying to connect him to a John Williams who married a woman named Julia (born about 1820). They had a daughter Isabella Williams born about 1850 who married Ansley Elliott and lived in the Port George area. -- Harcus Hennigar
