As always, please be very careful when receiving/opening email attachments. If you do not know who it is from or are not expecting one from someone you know, DON'T open it. (You friend's machine may be infected.) Of course you have Anti-Virus running on your computer ...but you need to update it often. It won't do you any good if it is not updated with the most recent virus information. Scan your machine regularly as well.

Many of this surname -- with different spelling -- were original founders of Lunenburg, but moved westward beginning about 1825.

To all:- The Canada Census Committee is stronger and larger -- by working together, we will support Senator Lorna Milne and Murray Calder, MP. Let's get to work!! WE personally desire the census records as well! Please read the message from Gordon Watts - we had hoped otherwise! Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/committee.html ------------------------- Greetings all. What up to a few days ago was speculation has now been confirmed. On 17 September the current session of Parliament was prorogued, effective 30 September 2002. Members of Parliament have been summoned to meet on Monday, 30 September 2002 at two o'clock in the afternoon, for the dispatch of business, thus starting the second session of the 37th Parliament of Canada. The effect of this is that all unfinished business from the prorogued Session ceases to exist. All Bills and Motions - government or private members - that have not been fully processed and completed, end up in the dumper. This includes Bill S-12, Senator Lorna Milne's Bill on access to Census, that we expected to achieve third reading in the Senate shortly after Parliament resumed sitting after the summer recess. It is expected that both Senator Milne, and MP Murray Calder will re-introduce their respective Bills in the Senate and the House of Commons. This would be a second chance for Murray Calder's Bill which was deemed non-votable and received only one hour of debate in the House before being dropped from the Order Paper. However both Bills would be starting from square one, having to go through first reading and all other steps that they had been subjected to previously. It means that the Bills, when presented, will have new numbers. It means more time and further delays before we achieve what we seek. This would be the third time that our Bills have had to start from scratch. With a new start we must renew our efforts to gain the support of those elected and appointed representatives who have not responded to our questions. We urge all to check the position of their own elected and appointed representatives on the MP and Senator Scoreboards on the Post 1901 Census Project website. Send letters to them, either thanking them for the support they have already expressed, or seeking support from those who have not given a definitive answer to our questions (i.e. fence-sitters or no response). If you have, or receive, a response that differs from the position shown on the Scoreboard for your representative, please forward a copy to me so that I might update the Scoreboards. Copies of letters you send would be helpful as well. We must also renew our efforts in collecting signatures on petitions. Not having had an election with a new government, we are not starting over again on petitions but we need to continue with efforts to obtain new signatures. So far we have sent more than 55,000 signatures to Ottawa, however with a population of Canada in excess of 32 million, there remains a great many people interested in genealogy and history that have not yet signed a petition. Some may question the effectiveness of our petitions and the need to continue collecting signatures, saying that having already sent more than 55,000 signatures, adding to these numbers will have little additional effect. The fact of the matter is, however, that numbers of signatures on petitions is the only tangible, visible, evidence we have to show that genealogists and historians seek to regain public access to Post 1901 Census records. Presentation of petitions in the House of Commons and the Senate, showing the numbers of signatures received, is permanently recorded in Hansard, showing for all time that we seek these vital records. LETTERS and email to MPs, Senators and other officials are very necessary. They may, in fact, outnumber the number of signatures on petitions. However, we do not have any means of knowing the numbers of letters and email sent and so cannot point to them, as we can with petitions, as proof of our desire for access. [COPIES requested, please!] Do not give up hope. We may have hit another snag in our efforts to regain public access to Post 1901 Census records. There is no question, however, that with the help of all we will achieve that goal. It will just take a little longer to do so. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.

--- Please Forward and/or Translate -- Greetings All. A number of people have asked for a point by point summary of the Post 1901 Census issue. Because of this I have compiled the following Summary. Feel free to circulate it to those you feel will be interested. It will shortly be included on the Post 1901 Census Project website which, I am happy to say after the problems of the past few days, is once again accessible. 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 Permission to forward without notice is granted. *********************************** Post 1901 Census Issue Summary ** 235 years of Census records, from the first Census of New France in 1666, up to and including the 1901 national Census of Canada, currently reside in the National Archives of Canada and are accessible to any person or body for purposes of research. ** Clauses in the Access to Information and Privacy Acts make specific provision for public access to 'personal' information contained in Census 92 years after collection. ** The National Archives of Canada Act provides that the National Archivist shall determine what records of government are of historical or archival value and that shall be deposited in the National Archives. ** The National Archivist, Ian E. Wilson, has determined that records of Historic Census do have historical or archival value and are, in fact, a National treasure. He has formally requested Statistics Canada to turn control of the 1906 Special Census of the Western Provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba) over to his control. ** Statistics Canada (i.e. Chief Statistician Dr. Ivan P. Fellegi) refuses to turn control of Historic Census records after 1901 over to control of the National Archivist of Canada. ** The rational for this refusal is based on misinterpreted legislation and Instructions to Officers and Enumerators of Census going back as far as 1905, and Statistics Canada's claim that a 'promise' was made to the people of Canada that confidentiality of Census was perpetual. ** Statistics Canada has been unable to provide a single piece of documented evidence that a 'promise' of 'confidentiality of Census in perpetuity' has ever been made. It does not exist! ** In November 1999, then Industry Minister John Manley appointed an Expert Panel to study and make recommendations regarding public access to Historic Census Records. Their report, finally made public 15 December 2000, found no evidence that legislators of the day intended that records of Census were to remain confidential for all time. They recommended allowing public access to all Census records, past, present and future, 92 years after collection. They urged caution only in the method by which records from 1918 to 2001 were made available. ** In making the Report of the Expert Panel on Access to Historical Census Records public, then Industry Minister Brian Tobin discounted the recommendations contained therein, claiming that 'further broad-based consultations with all Canadians' was required. He stated these consultations would take place with already mandated reviews of the Access to Information and Privacy Acts. ** The review of the Access to Information Act took place and the report released with no mention of public access to Historic Census records - it was not part of their mandate. A review of the Privacy Act is not expected to be completed within three years, and access to Census is likewise not included in the mandate of those expected to review it. ** In December 2001 and January 2002 a series of Town Hall Meetings and Focus Groups were conducted across Canada. Of 157 presenters at the Town Hall Meetings, 151 were fully supportive of unrestricted public access of all records of Census, 92 years after collection, in accordance with current legislation. ** Each of these 151 presenters likewise rejected the so-called 'compromise solution' being pushed by Statistics Canada as being too restrictive in who might access the records, what information might be accessed and what might be done with information retrieved. ** The 'compromise' does not do what it is proposed to do. It would be excessively expensive to set up and maintain, and would be a bureaucratic nightmare to administer. It would prevent access for the greater portion of the Canadian population that do not live within reasonable travel distance to a government office holding copies of the Census records. ** Instructions to Officers and Enumerators of Census from at least 1901 to 1946, having the Force of Law, contain clauses that state that records of Census "have value as a record for historical use", that "The census is intended to be a permanent record", and "its schedules will be stored in the Archives of the Dominion." If any 'promise' was made to the people of Canada regarding Census it was this. ** On 5 March 2002, Calgary lawyer Lois Sparling, on behalf of the Canada Census Committee and many thousands of genealogists and historians, submitted an Application for Judicial Review to the Federal Court of Canada. The purpose of this Application is to obtain a Writ of Mandamus to compel the Chief Statistician of Canada to turn control of 1906 Census schedules over to the National Archivist. It was later modified to include a request for certain declarations relating to public access of these records. At the time of writing the legal action is proceeding more or less as expected. ** To date (September 2002), more than 55,000 signatures have been sent to Ottawa seeking to regain public access to Post 1901 Census records on the same basis as records up to and including 1901 are currently available. ** There is still a requirement for signatures on petitions (downloadable from the Post 1901 Census Project website), and for letters to be sent to MPs and Senators seeking their support for access. With an expected proroguing of the current session of Parliament on 30 September 2002 all Bills and Motions (including Bill S-12) will cease to exist. It is expected that Senator Lorna Milne and MP Murray Calder will immediately re-introduce their Census Bills. This will be the third time our Bills have been started from scratch. It is therefore essential that we continue to reinforce our desire for access with our elected and appointed representatives. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Greetings All. For those who have tried to access the Post 1901 Census Project website today, and have been unable to do so, it appears that there are server problems that are preventing access. Upgrades were made to the servers this past weekend and for awhile a similar situation existed. It was thought that the problems were rectified, but they have apparently re-occured. This problem may exist until Rick Roberts returns from a trip to Ottawa on Monday. Attempts are being made to contact someone else at Global who might be able to rectify the problem but so far no luck in this. Websites that are affected and not accessible are: Global Genealogy & History Shoppe http://globalgenealogy.com The Global Gazette, Canada's Online Family History Magazine http://globalgazette.net Global Heritage Press http://globalheritagepress.com The Post-1901 Census Project (Canada) http://globalgenealogy.com/Census The Lanark County Genealogical Society (Ontario, Canada) http://globalgenealogy.com/LCGS There have recently been a number of problems on the Internet. This past Monday morning the whole of British Columbia was down for awhile. Many other areas have seemed to be very slow in responding at times. It is frustrating, but it is something we appear to have to live with if we want to use the Net. Please have a little patience.

Giffin, Gary Tue, 11 Jun 2002 Quesnel Observer, Quesnel, B.C. It is with deepest sorrow that we mourn the passing of Gary Giffin, a fallen firefighter. Born May 1, 1971 in Liverpool, Nova Scotia, he was taken from us after a tragic accident June 4, 2002 passing away at the University of Alberta Hospital on June 11, 2002. His memory was honored Wednesday, June 19, 2002 at 2:00 pm at the Fort Nelson Rec Centre. Gary lived life with such enthusiasm that it was impossible not to share his hopes and dreams with him. The ups and downs of life were just annoyances easily overcome and to be forgotten quickly. Everything that Gary did in his life added more fuel to his fire of life. He leaves behind his fiancee Jeanie Kenneway, his parents Stan and Shirley Giffin of Sable River, Nova Scotia, sisters Dawn Marie Davies (Mark and nephew Shawn) of Calgary, Alberta, June Giffin-Martin (Maurice and nephews Jeremy, Jarad and niece Lindy) of Sable River, Nova Scotia and an uncountable number of friends. Gary left his mark on life by reaching for his dreams and sharing them with those he loved. He will be missed from our lives, but will never be forgotten. A memorial service will take place in Sable River, Nova Scotia in July.

To all:- A special VOLUNTEER AWARDS page will be posted for us by Bryan Keddy - to include Garth Staples, PEI committee member. Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee -------------------------------- 2001 - the International Year of the Volunteer Many will be aware that the year 2001 was designated as a worldwide "Year of the Volunteer". Few are aware, however, that your co-chairs of the Canada Census Committee, Muriel M. Davidson and myself, were honoured, through the sponsorship of Senator Lorna Milne, to receive a beautiful Certificate and a pewter Medal that commemorated our volunteer efforts related to the Canada Census campaign. Each Member of Parliament, and each Senator of Canada were given ten of these Certificates bound in an imitation leather folder (Green for the House of Commons and Red for the Senate) to distribute to those they felt had contributed significantly in various areas of volunteerism. Approximately 4,000 Medals, having the same "Year of the Volunteer" logo shown on the reverse side of Canada's 2001 dime, were struck by Canada's Mint. They will never be struck again. Considering that Canada's population is more than 32 million people, to be one of approximately 4,000 being recognized by presentation of these Certificates and Medals is an extraordinary, and probably once in a lifetime, honour. My Certificate and Medal were presented to me by Member of Parliament Hedy Fry in December 2001 at a ceremony she held for presentations to those volunteers she was honouring. The Certificate reads: Presented to Gordon Watts in this Year of the Volunteer for his dedication to the cause of Public Access to the Historic Census of Canada And for his hours of work in that cause as Co-Chair of the Canada Census Campaign Presented on behalf of The Honourable Lorna Milne, Senator December, 2001 While Muriel Davidson received her Certificate and Medal in December, Susan Fennell, Mayor of the city of Brampton, Ontario, did not officially present it to her until March of 2002. Muriel received her award during opening ceremonies for a ward of the Brampton Memorial Hospital where she has also been a volunteer. Muriel' s Certificate included a list of many other volunteer activities with which she has been involved over the years. For those interested, scans of my Certificate and Medal will be included in my next Global Genealogy column. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.

To all researchers: Our legal case is progressing more or less as expected, although we have modified our Application slightly. Our original Application sought only to have the Court make an Order "compelling the Chief Statistician to transfer the nominal returns and schedules of the 1906 Census of the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta to the National Archivist, and, further and in the alternative, for an Order directing, or alternatively permitting, the National Archivist to make this information available to the public for research purposes". The modification to our Application seeks further, and in the alternative, Declarations: (a) that the National Archivist, and not the Chief Statistician, has care and control of the records from the 1906 Census; (b) in the alternative, if, contrary to the Applicants submission, the Chief Statistician does have care and control of the records from the 1906 Census, then Chief Statistician is under a legal obligation to transfer control of these records to the National Archivist; (c) further, upon being declared to be in care or control of the records from the 1906 Census or upon being transferred control of such records, the National Archivist has the power to disclose this information to members of the public upon request for research purposes. In order to amend our Application to include a request for Declaratory Relief and to extend the time limit for us to file our Applicants' Record we required the agreement of parties on the other side. The lawyer for the Privacy Commissioner consented right away. The Justice Department, on behalf of the Attorney General, National Archivist and Chief Statistician took longer to state they "do not oppose" our application. Not opposing the application is not quite the same as consenting to it. The Prothonotary (don't ask - that is the term Lois used) will now consider our written application and presumably grant it promptly since it is unopposed. As of 12 September our Applicants' Record was ready to go except for the copying and binding. The key part of our Record is the written argument. The Respondents then have to file their Respondent's Record with their written argument. Lois will then requisition a Hearing. If there are no more unexpected delays, she hopes the hearing will be before Christmas. This will not be like a trial since all the evidence is in the Affidavits. There will be no witnesses. Lawyers will present oral argument and be quizzed by the Federal Court Judge. This will take place in Calgary and be open to the public. The Federal Court rooms in Calgary are not all that big and crowds cannot be accommodated. Legal arguments are not terribly interesting to non-lawyers, however, other circumstances being considered, I have hopes that I will be able to be in Calgary to observe the proceedings.

To all:- There are many memorials in Nova Scotia - in small villages, towns, cities -- the list is far from complete and more will be added. The latest addition is from CANNING, Nova Scotia - donated by Ivan Smith in .jpg format. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/TRIBUTE.html is a collection of many tributes of many war memorials. The tribute to Canning is located - just click on the line. One missing one is the Norwegian monument located beside the Thomas H. Raddall Research Centre, Liverpool, Nova Scotia. While at this site, check the Korean War memorial, located two miles from my home -- names will be posted by provinces shortly, One missing name is Edward Clyde Benfold -- attended school and lived in Liverpool, Nova Scotia - search for USS BENFOLD. Our thanks to Bryan Keddy for putting the page together! Sincerely hope you enjoy his work-- in remembrance of Nova Scotians and Canadians. Muriel M.
