The following may be copied and forwarded To all:- It was appropriate to read this article in the Toronto Sun while surrounded by veterans (including my husband) at Sunnybrook Veteran's Wing in Toronto. =========== OTTAWA -- The Liberal government has opened the door to compensating veterans who were denied benefits for the last 60 years because they failed to complete their discharge paperwork after the war. Grilled in the House of Commons yesterday (Oct. 7), Veterans Affairs Minister Albina Guarnieri vowed to "do justice" to any veterans who were misclassified. "I have asked officials to consult with veterans' organizations and I am working closely with the defence department to excavate the facts and dig up the truth," she said. NDP Pat Martin is pressing the government to overturn a 1946 order-in-council that obliterated the service records of 14,100 veterans. ============= The Merchant Navy FINALLY were recognized a few years ago, but there could be many others of all services who did not have proper instruction in completing paperwork. My husband's is complete and benefits are such that many should be receiving now. By all means, dig out the old SERVICE NUMBER (even from memory), visit the nearest D.V.A. office or Legion. I am working directly with one who has access to all areas of Canada. [I feel the number of 14,100 has been reduced by death by now] Muriel M.

PLEASE PRINT AND SAVE -- Muriel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gordon A. Watts" <gordon_watts@telus.net> To: "Canada Census Campaign" <CANADA-CENSUS-CAMPAIGN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, October 07, 2005 5:47 PM Subject: 1911 Census - Column 18 Greetings All Those, like myself, who have been trying to puzzle out the number codes overwritten in Column 18 of the 1911 Census will be happy to know that the Library and Archives website has today been updated with information relating to those codes. A fuller explanation of the three parts of the codes is now included in the Help files relating to the 1911 Census, and a link is provided to a PDF file detailing the occupation codes. The following information was extracted from the updated Help section of the 1911 Census at http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/1911/006003-100.04-e.html#b ==================== For the first time in 1911, information taken for the census was compiled by mechanical appliances. Perforated cards were used to record more accurately information on occupations, using codes. However, it seems that it was not a great success and the system was changed in 1921. The use of this code is reflected in column 18. Genealogists will see numbers separated by hyphens. Example: 6-0-32, 6-6-32 or 6-9-32. The numbers are from the Index to Occupations based on the results of the Fourth census of Canada (1901). (Index to Occupations. Ottawa, Census and Statistics Office, 1911, 230 p. AMICUS : 7693172). This publication gives a list of the codes; only a few copies are available in libraries throughout Canada. The following explanations were taken from this publication. The first part of the code refers to one of the general main divisions of occupations or industries as follows: 0 Agriculture 1 Building trades 2 Domestic and personal service 3 Civil and municipal service 4 Fisheries and hunting 5 Forestry and lumbering 6 Manufactures - mechanical and textiles 7 Manufactures - Food and clothing 8 Mining 9 Professional pursuits 10 Trade and Merchandising 11 Transportation The second part of the code refers to the class of worker 0 Self-employed or owner of the business 1 Managers, assistant managers 2 Superintendents, assistant superintendents, supervisors 3 Foremen, bosses, gang bosses, paymasters, treasurers 4 Agents, brokers, commission men 5 Inspectors, weighers, graders 6 Employees, workers, operators, skilled workers 7 Clerks, companions, timekeepers 8 Apprentices, helpers, learners, assistants 9 Laborers, unskilled, messengers, teamsters Note that a special code was created for the third category, Civil and municipal government, to include military ranks. 0 -- 1 Admirals, generals, surveyors etc. 2 Captains, colonels, postmasters, teachers, deputies, assessors, sheriffs, librarians, assistants, chief clerks, supervisors 3 Lieutenants, police inspectors, paymasters, collectors, treasurers, auditors, marshals etc. 4 Sergeants, corporals, bandsmen, quartermasters etc. 5 Inspectors, scalers, gaugers, measurers, roundsmen, keepers, appraisers etc. 6 Employees, operators, privates, marines, sailors, policemen, letter carriers etc. 7 Bookkeepers, clerks, stenographers, secretaries, court stenographers etc. 8 Helpers, assistants, attendants etc. 9 Laborers, messengers, watchmen etc. The third part of the code refers to the trade. For each category, a list of trades was created using the numbers 00 to 99. On the original census returns, take note of the first and third parts of the code then consult the chart (PDF format 34 Kb) to obtain the meaning of the code. ====================== The chart referred to is available at http://www.collectionscanada.ca/obj/006003/f2/006003-1911-e.pdf Enjoy the Census!

Hi Bonnie, I think I can get you the records of this lady. Give me a week or so Garry Dowd Arnprior

Hello All: Does anyone know if there is a Russell County List? I can't find one. Thanks, Bonnie

Hello All: I'm looking for the burial record of Dolly SCHARF (or referred to as the Widow Scharf) that probably took place in the 1870's, probably 1872 or thereabouts. After her husband Thomas SCHARF died (buried in the Scharf Cemetery in Kanata) she lived with various of her children, in places like BLACKBURN HAMLET (in Russell Co.) GATINEAU, North Gower Twp. Has anyone access to death records? Her death was not registered. Been looking for this gal for 25 years now. Thanks, Bonnie

To all who are transcribing or wanting the 1911 census:- YUKON Territory has been named No. 1 for 100% completion of all pages, with 18,700 lines transcribed!! I have checked all counties in provinces, the ones in the west are all below 10% for Automated Genealogy, which is a Canada-wide site and records go to Library and Archives Canada. The highest number of counties in any province is Lunenburg County in Nova Scotia with 83.45% or 28,998 lines. Next to this is Digby with 75.37% and 15,827 lines. Yarmouth County has 68.71% and 16,456 lines transcribed. Some researchers have already been printing off the work of others, but I would hesitate to do this until I see the proofreaders have finished their "second look" at our work. Transcribing is simple -- http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/ We worked very hard for the 1911 census -- are we going to let the unfinished pages sit there? One person complained there were too many mistakes in one site, but printed it anyway. Let's get with it and then tell the proofreaders we are ready for them. Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee P.S. -- When we finish the 1911, there is still proofreading to do on the 1901 census!!!

To all:- First of all, before I receive queries, an American is one of our relatives in many cases, and may transcribe Canadian census. Transcribing is simple if you have a good magnifying glass as penmanship was not the best. It is easier if one knows the older names of an area, also use the little + on images to icrease size of lettering. [The magnifying glass is my idea -- others may copy] We have both 1901 and 1911 online, with transcribing on the 1911 http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/ http://automatedgenealogy.com/index.html/ I prefer the Automated Genealogy as it is Canada-wide, also if one has a blank census form, one can write down family data as both pages are shown -- we transcribe from only Page 1. Finished data will be archived at Library and Archives Canada. Many have transcribed the complete images and these are on various GenWeb and other sites. Also the pages are bilingual. When one clicks on one of the above sites -- one is asked to SIGN IN, using your regular email address, plus a password you will remember. This is to prevent many from possibly making errors on the site and is a way of control. Each page must be 50 lines, regardless if 45 of them are blank -- delete HOUSE number and NAME, leave LINE NUMBER, click on SUBMIT until you reach 51 -- then click on CLAIM PAGE. It will show 50. Many pages have been transcribed but transcribers have not left names, also a page may show only about 11 transcribed, as one can go back to finish a page. Transcribers have been listed on the 1901 census pages, and I am certain the same will be done re the 1911 records. Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Yukon are in a three-way race to see which provinces/territory are completed 100% first. [Yukon does have one page repeated -- Rampart House/13.] Should there be questions, contact me or gordon_watts@telus.net We now have the 1911 census records -- let's finish the job! The proofreaders will be the next step -- they are waiting!! Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee http://www.globalgenealogy.com/census --
