To all:- There are 103 Members of Parliament elected in Ontario, but to date only 38 are in support of Post-1901 census release, with bills presently in the Senate and soon in House of Commons. Families use the census records to locate lost family members, complete families, many churches have sealed records -- these are NOT all being researched by genealogists -- many could not care less about a family history program -- just want to complete the families. http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Score3.htm#ONT Ontario led other provinces with SEVEN against census release and in one county, the MP did not consult the constituents. There are 34 who are UNDECIDED, but many gained this with an answer by an assistant. A total of 24 have never answered, some as far back as 1999. As many assistants open the mail, he or she may not know the answer. I will correspond with any assistant. WE hope genealogical and historical groups will discuss this as assistance is desired now. Petitions will be great -- at http://www.globalgenealogical.com/Census/Petition.htm Gordon Watts is away -- all Members of Parliament who do not have a Gold tick of support should be contacted. Read the messages under the private message boards at the left -- you will be surprised. Muriel M. Davidson <[email protected]> Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census
