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 --
