To all:- It does not seem possible that Parliament will resume on this coming Monday -- no Speech from the Throne, but it could be interesting. At least we do not have census release to think about but there are bills in both the House of Commons and Senate in which many might be interested. At least, our soon-to-be former Governor-General left us with a long overdue challenge cup -- for the best women's hockey team! Our Minister of Veteran's Affairs, Albina Guarnieri DOES answer her mail -- I had occasion to ask her about "how many years makes one a veteran". Today I received a beautiful postcard, 2 - 0 - 0 - 5, Year of the Veteran / Année de l'ancien combattant The card is beautiful with well-known poppy and gold maple leaf. The 1911 census, the last one prior to World War One, was passed June 28, 2005 and many have written to me that their ancestor's family was online -- many did not return but the family is there, complete with the one who went overseas. YUKON is 100% transcribed!!!!!!! Which province or territory will be the next one? One thing I have noticed, a person might transcribe only ONE or two lines -- there are FIFTY lines on each page of the Canada-wide Automated Genealogy -- reachable at http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/ or http://automatedgenealogy.com/index.html [The FIFTY lines might need to be invented by clicking on Submit] Just follow the directions -- and if you goof, as I did, it can be changed before the proofreaders look over our work. Which province or territory will follow YUKON? We are not publishing very much in regular mail lists -- a gathering of items such as this, the column written by Gordon Watts, and other items -- many changes might be made on scoreboards. The Laugh of the Day:- I have never announced my middle name -- sort of dislike it but was too young to argue. The Opposition Party learned it some way -- plus a letter and request. [Not answered!!!] Either myself or Gordon Watts will assist strugglers with census transcribing, also we have at least eight blank census forms - just ask us. Muriel M.
