My grandmother, GEORGIANA LABRECQUE died 27 April 1928. She was 50 years old at time of her death. I need to find the reason for her death.

----- Original Message ----- From: "Gordon A. Watts" <gordon_watts@telus.net> To: "Canada Census Campaign" <CANADA-CENSUS-CAMPAIGN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, March 20, 2006 2:13 PM Subject: Census Day - 16 May 2006 Greetings All. The next National Census of Canada is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, 16 May 2006. For the first time in the 340 years Censuses have been conducted in the territory that was destined to become Canada, respondents will be asked to provide consent for the release of information they provide, 92 years after collection. Until now, no such consent was required. The question that will appear on the Census questionnaire is as follows: ********************* The following question is for all persons who usually live here including those less than 15 years old. If you are answering on behalf of other people, please consult each person. 53. The Statistics Act guarantees the confidentiality of your census information. Only if you mark "YES" to this question will your personal information be made public, 92 years after the 2006 Census. If you mark "NO" or leave the answer blank, your personal information will never be made publicly available. Does this person agree to make his/her 2006 Census information available for public release in 2098 (92 years after the census)? Yes No ********************* Inclusion of this 'informed consent' provision in Censuses to be conducted from 2006 was the price forced upon genealogists and historians seeking to regain public access to Historic Census records to which existing legislation already stated we were entitled. We had been advised that unless this provision was accepted the government would not present the Bill (S-18) to end our seven-year campaign to regain public access Historic Census records in accordance with provisions of the Access to Information and Privacy Acts. In my post of 18 March 2006 I copied my letter to the Chief Statistician of Canada and his response advising what steps would be taken by StatCan and LAC to encourage a positive response to the 'informed consent' question on the upcoming Census. The fact is that we cannot depend entirely on these government sources to spread the word regarding the need for EVERYONE to answer YES to this question. It is time now to start spreading the word ourselves about this question. Our goal is a 100 percent YES response to the 'informed consent' clause on the upcoming Census. Realistically speaking it is likely a goal that we cannot achieve. However, with some effort we can hopefully achieve something close to it. The question that arises is 'how'? Start now by advising friends, relatives and neighbours to answer YES to the 'informed consent' question. Ask them to help pass the word along by likewise advising their friends, relatives and neighbours. Advise them that if this question is not answered YES, or is left unanswered, their descendants will be unable to find information on them in Census records in 2098 (92 years in the future). For all intents and purposes, so far as the Census is concerned, they will not have existed. If significant numbers of respondents answer negatively, or do not answer this question at all, it will destroy the completeness of the records, and thus their value to genealogical or historical researchers will be forever destroyed. Genealogical and historical societies can publicize the need to respond YES in their various publications. They can advise their membership at their regular meetings. One might think that all genealogists are aware of the value of Census in developing their family trees. You might think that after a seven year campaign to regain public access to Historic Census records they would be aware that starting with the 2006 Census on 16 May, they must respond positively to an 'informed consent' question to earn their place in the history of the future. Sadly, from correspondence I receive, it is obvious that many of those who use Census in their research today are not aware of this. It is therefore up to us to advise them. Genealogists and historians can be expected to be more aware of the need to answer YES to the 'informed consent' question than are the general public. In fact, the general public's knowledge of the issue is probably non-existent. They must be made aware. This can be done by word-of-mouth, by writing letters to editors of newspapers and by calling radio talk shows. There are many ways to educate the public, and I mention here only a few. The important thing is that we all do our part to 'spread the word'. If you think of other ways to get the news out please respond to me directly. On Census Day 16 May 2006, make sure you answer YES to allow your information to be made available to your descendants in 2098. Make sure everyone you know does as well. Enjoy the Census! Gordon A.

FYI - I copy below correspondence sent to, and received from Chief Statistician Ivan P. Fellegi regarding his commitment to encourage respondents to Census to answer YES to the informed consent question on the upcoming Census. Inclusion of this question on future Censuses was the price we paid to ensure unrestricted public access to Historic Census records from 1911 to 2001. The next Census of Canada will be held 16 May 2006. It is time now to start advising friends, relatives and neighbours to answer YES to this question. If this question is not answered YES, or is left unanswered, your descendants will be unable to find information on you in Census records in 2098 (92 years in the future). If significant numbers of respondents respond negatively, or do not respond to this question at all, it will destroy the completeness of the records, and thus their value to genealogical or historical researchers will be forever destroyed.

Watts gordon_watts@telus.net Co-chair, Canada Census Committee Port Coquitlam, British Columbia Read my column, 'Gordon Watts Reports' at http://globalgenealogy.com/globalgazette/authors/authgw.htm ****************************** 6 March 2006 Dr. Ivan P. Fellegi Chief Statistician of Canada Ottawa, Ontario Dear Dr. Fellegi: During Senate Committee hearings leading to the passage of Bill S-18 - An Act to amend the Statistics Act, you committed Statistics Canada, in cooperation with Library and Archives Canada, to a publicity campaign to encourage respondents to Census to respond positively to the newly added 'informed consent' question. A positive response to that question would permit information provided to be made available to the public, 92 years after collection. A Census of Canada has been scheduled for 16 May 2006 and wording of the Census form has been set. Wording on these forms advises what will happen if the respondent answers YES or NO to the 'informed consent' question, or leaves the answer blank. The wording however, can hardly be construed as encouraging respondents to answer YES to this question. Would you kindly advise specifically what form the publicity campaign you have committed to will take, and how you intend to encourage respondents to Census to answer YES to the 'informed consent' question? When will this campaign begin? Please advise also in what manner the genealogical and historical communities of Canada might participate in, or assist in the campaign to encourage a positive response to the 'informed consent' question on Census. A response to my questions, at your earliest possible convenience, would be appreciated. Thank you. Sincerely Gordon A. Watts Co-chair, Canada Census Committee gordon_watts@telus.net **************************> The response from Dr. Fellegi, received by email 13 March 2006, was as follows:> ************************** Dear Mr. Watts, Thank you for your e-mail of March 6, 2006, requesting information about Statistics Canada's publicity campaign to promote the 92-year consent question on the 2006 Census questionnaire.

It's been a while since I was last on this list and I am hoping that maybe someone new has come on board and will be researching my people. My O'Neill folk settled in Buckingham back around 1817 and have spread out to just about everywhere since. There were three brothers, Constantine, (married to Mary Lynch) John, (married to Susan O'Shaughnessy) and James, (married to Catherine O'Shaugnessy). All came from Cratloe, Co. Clare. Jame moved from Buckingham to Eganville and many of his children were born there. John Christian and his wife, Sarah McConvey, also from Ireland, settled in Nepean. They had three children, Margaret Christian (married Dominic Fox), Charles Christian, married Mary Ann Tierney and Catherine Cullen) and John Christian who married Catherine Shirley.
