We have only recently discovered that our grandparents and great grandparents (On our mother's side) were of Mic Mac descent. My grandmother's name was Rosalie Octavie Muise (b. 21 Nov. 1893; d. 14 Mar., 1972). Her father's name was Jean Alfred Muise (b. 19 Sept., 1865; d. 04 Nov., 1915) and her mother's name was Marie Julienne Muise (b. 25 Feb., 1866; d. 14 July, 1903). Jean Alfred's parents were: Simon Marc Miuce and Mosalie Muis; and Marie Julienne's parents were Romain Muise and Rosalie Mouleson. I am having trouble dechiphering which generation of Muise to follow so I might be able to find their names. Can you offer any suggestions. I am finding this fascinating and would appreciate any pointers you might have in the right direction. Sincerely, Denise Leschart/Leverman/Lorgere/Muise My mother: Marie Rosaline Lorgere daughter of Alvinie Anatole Lorgere and Rosalie Octavie Muise.

Greetings All. For those who have any concerns about what will be asked on the upcoming Census, the questions to be asked, and the reasons they are being asked, are available on the Statistics Canada website available at http://www12.statcan.ca/english/census06/info/questions/index.cfm Information provided here is for the long form only, and there are 53 questions. There are only 8 questions on the short form -- these include questions 1 through 6, question 16, and question 53 as shown for the long form. Ensure your place in the history of Canada. On Census Day 16 May 2006, answer YES to allow your information to be made available to your descendants in 2098. Ask everyone you know to do so as well. Gordon A.

Greetings All Over the past few weeks I have been made aware of a group who have been actively campaigning to have people hinder, or cripple the upcoming Canadian Census. I have been reluctant to make mention of them at all, hoping they would just 'go away', and I will not mention who they are because I do not wish to give any indication I believe them to be credible. Let it suffice to say that it would appear they are well funded, and well organized. In my opinion however, they are misguided and misinformed regarding the realities of how the Census is being conducted. They do not advocate outright refusal to respond to the Census, but offer a number of suggestions regarding ways to hinder the process, and to skew the resultant data. To follow these suggestions would, in my opinion, be dangerous and detrimental to the entire process and the reasons for it. These people put forth the fact that Statistics Canada has contracted out to the Canadian subsidiary of Lockheed-Martin for software, and fear that having done so makes our Census data subject to export to the United States under legislation enacted there after 9-11, as reasons to not fully cooperate in our upcoming Census. This is not a new issue. In fact, to my knowledge it has been around since early 2004, when Statistics Canada conducted a test Census in preparation for Census 2006. It is an issue that has been dealt with in Parliament at least twice that I am aware of. It is an issue that should have been put to rest long ago. Statistics Canada has taken a number of steps to ensure that confidentiality of Census is maintained, and that NO information provided to Census can be exported to the United States or any other country. Those steps include the following: ** Only Statistics Canada staff handle completed questionnaires and process confidential data. All questionnaires and data are processed in Canada. ** The systems and networks used to collect and process confidential data are not connected to any external networks, and are physically isolated from the outside. ** No contract staff is ever in possession of confidential data, and it is physically impossible for any outside contractor to obtain possession of census data or to transmit them outside the Agency. ** Everyone working on the census is sworn in under the Statistics Act, and subject to the provisions and penalties of the Statistics Act (including imprisonment of up to six months) if they breach confidentiality. I urge everyone to cooperate fully, and to honestly complete the Census 2006 questionnaires. It is to your advantage to do so. Ensure your place in the history of Canada. On Census Day 16 May 2006, answer YES to allow your information to be made available to your descendants in 2098. As everyone you know to do so as well. Gordon A.

I'm looking for information on Bernard Keenan who married Mary Elizabeth White on June 22, 1881. Nova Scotia Marriage Records list him as a butcher living in Yarmouth. Would any one have a list of there children?

Greetings All. The Editorial pages of today's Globe and Mail (14 April 2006) includes an excellent article written by Professor Bill Waiser. The headline is "Say 'yes' for history's sake". The sub-headline states "Census information provides a snapshot of our past and must be publicly available, says historian Bill Waiser" Bill Waiser is one of those who were in the forefront of our campaign to regain public access to our Historic Census records. Using the 1906 Census records released because of our campaign he wrote a book to commemorate Saskatchewan's Centennial in 2005. The book was titled 'Saskatchewan: A New History'. Professor Waiser was successful in having a number of articles relating to our campaign published in major media sources when many others writing letters and articles were, for the most part, ignored. Todays article is available on the online version of the paper, but only to those who are 'Insider Edition' subscribers. My thanks to Judith Ueland for pointing me to this article.

But moving to Reading would not be surprising. A great many Acadians moved to Reading, Wakefield, Stoneham, Melrose Massachusetts including my parents. Those towns are all next to each other. I was born in Melrose and lived there for many years. If my mother was still of sound mind, she might know but she is now 96 and her memory is gone. Funny, most of the Acadians in those towns knew each other or knew of the family - I guess they kind of stuck together. Have you tried researching records in Reading? Sandy
