If any readers know of the constituency address of his or her Member of Parliament, please forward it -- the government sites might be slower than local localities. The Scoreboards include Newfoundland-Labrador, although their census is online up to 1945, becoming part of Canada in 1949. Muriel M.

Watts" <gordon_watts@telus.net> To: <NOVA-SCOTIA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2004 3:06 PM Subject: [NS-L] Post 1901 Census - MP Scoreboard updated Greetings All. While it has take some time the MP Scoreboards on the Post 1901 Census Project website has been updated to reflect all newly elected MPs. All MPs now have Correspondence Logs in which to add letters to them, and responses regarding their position on public access of 92 year old Census records. Many of these have yet to have Constituency Office addresses added but this will be done as soon as I can find out what they are. It is an ongoing process. Please advise me of any errors that you may become aware of. Please copy me on letters sent to your MPs, and in particular any responses you might receive from them so that the Scoreboards and Correspondence Logs can be updated with their position. Census petitions have been coming in, although not in the quantities that we would like to see. We must show our parliamentary representatives that we still seek the same unrestricted public access to Census records after 1906 that we currently have for 240 years of records up to that time. If we wish to regain access to these records we must continue to work for it. Letters and emails expressing our concerns are important but we have no means of determining numbers sent. Petitions give us an opportunity to publicly show numbers of people seeking access to these vital records. Parliament is currently scheduled to resume on 4 October 2004. We would like to have a good number of signatures to present soon after Parliament resumes. Our NEW petitions were first posted on the Post 1901 Census Project Website on 22 April 2004. If you downloaded petitions before that date you are using our OLD petitions. Please make sure you are using the New ones -- they are different. Thank you all for your support. Happy Hunting.
