To all:- Should anyone know the areas near Liverpool, Nova Scotia, one will be able to know there will be one huge mix-up on June 28th or else -- no votes will be cast.

To all:- This D-DAY 60th Anniversary weekend will not be as busy as it was June 6, 1944 -- and many things are happening!! Should anyone desire to view the actual ceremonies at Normandy one had better set the alarm clock for 4 AM! EST. The ceremony will be hosted by Lloyd Robertson of CTV and will be re-broadcast at 1 PM Sunday, June 6th -- due to time differences.. It is nice to know that 62 veterans, not only 60, will be there, courtesy of Stephen Harper and Jack Layton -- they gave up their seats to the vets. Others include 72 staffers and others with the Prime Minister. At Sunnybrook Veteran's Wings, where my husband resides, Ontario's Lieutenant-Governor James Bartleman will dedicate a therapeutic garden in back of the Kilgour Wing. Following lunch, a March Past with Salute to the Veterans will include 1,000 soldiers and bands, marching to the Legislature Building - a distance of 9.9 kms -- the distance the Canadians marched on June 6, 1944. Locally, in Brampton - and for the first time -- the two Royal Canadian Legion branches are holding joint ceremonies. For more details about Juno Beach, OUR Canadian memorial, click on http://www.junobeach.org/ There are other sites -- all updated!! I am hoping the Ulster Accordion Band will be one of the Canadian bands, as they were last year for the dedication of the Canadian Juno Beach centre. Please remember -- one of the reasons we desire the release of the 1911 census records is that names of those who fought and lost their lives on behalf of us will be listed on the 1911 records, scheduled for release on June 1, 2003 -- a bit late!!!

Greetings All. I have just spoken to Dan O'Donnell, the investigator in the Office of the Information Commissioner regarding our complaints against the Chief Statistician of Canada. The last time I spoke to him he indicated his best guess on when the response to our complaints would be forthcoming was 4 June 2004. Unfortunately we will have to wait a little longer. Mr. O'Connell indicated things are in the final stages and while he was unable to advise what that meant he now hopes that the reponses to our complaints will be available by mid to late June. He has promised to keep me apprised of any changes that might occur in this. While further delay is disappointing, so long as the end result is what we hope and expect we can afford to be patient for a little longer. On my recent trip to Calgary I had the opportunity to meet with Lois Sparling. Our legal action for the 1911 National Census is still on track. Our hearing in Federal Court is still scheduled for 8 June 2004 in Calgary. The only thing that will prevent the proceedings from going ahead would be if the government suddenly released the 1911 records. That is what happened when the 1906 records were released on 24 January 2003. I am not, however, holding my breath on that happening again. I do not expect a decision of the Court to be brought down on the day of the hearing. I suspect the Judge will reserve decision to have time to consider the arguments, pro and con, from each side. If the decision is based solely on the legislation we feel certain that we will win. Things being what they are, however, nothing is certain and we will have to wait and see what happens. Should we win we can probably expect the government to appeal the decision. If we lose, we will most certainly be appealing ourselves. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.

To all:- It seems very definite there will be an election called for possibly Monday, June 28, 2004 -- BUT this does not interfere with the collection of signatures for release of the 1911 census records, and transfer of same to the National Archives for our usage. I would like to see 1911 added to the online census for 1901 and 1906. We have gone through many scenarios in the past -- the final vote was ready to be taken on a census bill ONLY to have prorogation of Parliament -- the garbage cans were filled with petitions and our hopes. This time Gordon Watts and I are doing it a bit different -- we are "hoarding" any petitions that come in and will not release these until needed. Every day brings a new envelope -- my stash is growing!! Do not worry if sent to wrong one -- ONLY Gordon and myself -- we exchange mailings -- Do not give to Members of Parliament. There are NO census bills in either the Senate or House of Commons at present -- not until after an election. We hope there will be one similar to S-12 and C-312 -- the ones without restrictions. We are requesting petitions be downloaded from http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/ These may be double-sided to save paper and postage. Vacation time and holidays are beginning -- in Nova Scotia the Acadien Mondial celebrations would be a great place to gather signatures -- whether en anglais ou francais. Do not bother to write any letters -- there will be many familiar ones not returning to Ottawa. However, next week politicians will be in his/her home riding and one could chat about census release -- we will accept verbal comments from any person. We request genealogical and historical societies to become involved -- a group can do so much more than one single person. Libraries, LDS centres should be added to the list. Any questions will be answered by Gordon Watts gordon_watts@telus.net or by myself -- these may be on a personal basis -- if desired. Muriel M.

Fellow genealogists, Have you ever used the Internet to learn about genealogy methods and resources? Taken a genealogy course online? Read some 'how to' articles? Then I would like to hear from you. I am an Australian Ph.D. student who is currently writing a book chapter for an academic Virtual Learning Environment publication - my chapter is about using the Internet for genealogical education. I would therefore love to hear from you, fellow genealogists, about any Internet-based content you've used for genealogy education. This includes online courses (free or fee), how-to's, articles/columns, newsgroups, BBS, chat, mailing lists, forums, or even personal web pages that publish learning material - anything online that helps you in learning the craft of genealogy. Your comments on the following is of utmost interest: What are your favourite learning outlets on the Internet? How often do you use them? Can or did you find what you needed online? What are your learning successes? What could be better? What do you look for in genealogical learning on the Internet? If you would like to participate, your comments are extremely welcome. Please send your comments to me directly at research@veale.com.au before Saturday 1st May 2004. I thank you in advance for your participation in this academic research. Kylie Veale P.S.

Following Message May Be Forwarded To all:- It has been five years since the first Canada Census Committee pages and petitions were started -- we tried, but have not yet succeeded. Click on the URL below Gordon's name, download petitions from there and you will notice addresses are posted where these are to be sent. Request:- Do not double-side your printed petitions -- those in Ottawa may not notice what may be on the back of a page. For further information and queries, contact me personally -- interested people are invited to be members of the committee or Friends list as we try NOT to post too often on regular mail lists. Muriel M.. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/post1901census.htm ======= Greetings All. This is a NEW Petition for release of Historic Census records. Our previous petition, worded in general terms,had an effect. It did not, however achieve our ultimate goal of continued public access, without conditions or restriction, of ALL Historic Census records of Canada 92 years after collection, in accordance with provisions of the Access to Information and Privacy Acts and Regulations attached thereto. Our NEW petitions are worded in very specific terms -- giving explicit direction regarding what we seek, and the reasons for our request. There are petitions available for the House of Commons and the Senate of Canada, as well as a petition of support for those living outside of Canada. The NEW petitions in English are downloadable NOW from the Post 1901 Census Project website at the URL following my signature. French versions of the petitions will be available as soon as they can be translated by a member of the Canada Census Committee. We ask that concerned individuals, Family History and Genealogical Societies, and Historians -- anyone wanting to regain public access to Canada's Historic Census records, download and circulate these petitions. Attend the meetings of your local organizations to ensure that they are aware of the Census issue and the NEW petitions. Ask them to advise their membership through their newsletters. Ask them, if possible, to include copies of the petitions when mailing their newsletters to their membership. The current thought is that signatures will be collected and held -- probably until after the upcoming expected federal election. This would likely mean that the first signatures would be presented to Parliament after the summer. This would give us several months to collect signatures. There will be no deadline for collecting signatures on the NEW petitions. We will continue until we have achieved our goal. We would like to receive completed petitions as soon as they are available. Our original petitions sent more than 62,000 signatures to Ottawa. Let us make a concerted effort to beat that number with our NEW petitions. When sending petitions to us please include a note indicating where and by whom signatures were collected -- i.e. name of organization etc. With your help we WILL regain the public access to Canada's Historic Census records that are currently being withheld from us! Please DO NOT mail petitions to YOUR Member of Parliament or Senator -- only to the two addresses as given -- Muriel's and mine. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.
