To all Down Home Family Researchers:- The reason for the subject line is that all ELEVEN (11) Members of Parliament are 100% supportive of Post-1901 Census Release http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Score5.htm#NS I admit it took a few LETTERS and I have already sent notes of thanks -- but all will appreciate many more. Go to the above URL, the personal scoreboard is at the left, YOU may send messages on the memo site at the right. However, although the first vote on Senator Lorna Milne's Bill S-12 will be in the Senate, her Senatorial co-appointees from Nova Scotia are letting both Senator Milne and YOU down. http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Senscore3.htm#NS There is one vacancy, but here are the ones who need letters John M. Buchanan (Halifax) -- has never replied Gerald J. Comeau (Nova Scotia) -- seems to be AGAINST J. Michael Forrestall (Dartmouth-Eastern Shore) -- NO reply B.
