    1. [ANNAPOLIS] Post 1901 Census -- Finding your MP
    2. Muriel M. Davidson
    3. Greetings All. In seeking to contact your MP to advise of our concerns re: regaining public access to Historic Census records the following URLs may be useful. Using these URLs, doing a search on your postal code will bring up a page for your Member of Parliament, including Parliamentary and Constituency addresses, complete with telephone and fax numbers, and occasionally additional email addresses. In most cases it includes a picture of your MP. http://www.parl.gc.ca/information/about/people/House/PostalCode.asp?lang=E en francais http://www.parl.gc.ca/information/about/people/House/PostalCode.asp?lang=F Simply click on one of these URLs. If they wrap to a second line, use copy and paste to insert it in the 'Address' window of your browser. Remember -- what we seek is the SAME, UNRESTRICTED access, 92 years after collection, to Census records after 1906 that we currently have for 240 years of records up to that time. We do not seek to GAIN something that has never been available -- we seek to REGAIN something that has been improperly (and believed illegally) taken away from us by the Chief Statistician of Canada. Parliament is in recess this week. Chances are good that you can catch your MP in his/her constituency office. Give it a try. Let me know of their support or otherwise -- particularly if it differs from the position shown on the Scoreboard of the Post 1901 Census Project website. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.
