To all:- Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate a special family holiday tomorrow -- however, some of us observe two Thanksgivings -- one Canadian, one American. As families gather and remember other family members, this is a great opportunity to obtain signatures to PROVE that we, as Canadians and others with Canadian roots, would like Prime Minister Jean Chretien to present all of us with the Post-1901 census records as a lasting legacy. Petitions continue to arrive daily and by Friday, I should have sufficient to tabulate for Senator Lorna Milne. As you prepare the turkey and pumpkin pies, prepare the petitions for all family members to sign. Downloadable from http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Petition.htm Canadians and Snowbirds with Canadian permanent addresses use the House of Commons and Senate petitions, in either language. Non-Canadians, from any country, use the Non-Resident. Please do not mix American and Canadian addresses -- this has happened before and I have to make a choice and mark off ones that were mixed in. Sorry -- I tried to draw a turkey that would pass Rootsweb!! A bit more practice -- might succeed by Christmas!! Happy signing!!! Senator Lorna Milne and Murray Calder need this type of PROOF!!
