    1. Transcribing of 1901, 1911 Canadian Census Records
    2. Muriel M. Davidson
    3. To all:- There seems to be a great deal of confusion, especially among the Somcoe transcribers, where to place the finished product so all may be able to view the same. Some seem to be against Automated Genealogy -- which is still in TEST stage -- possibly hoping to see if there is sufficient power for the onslaught if all of us tried researching at one time. I have heard there is a SURNAME site -- no extra data. Several other sites have been mentioned and apparently there seems to be no control or suggestion as to final whereabouts. I am only writing to the above lists -- as I administer these lists -- but hopefully other lists will tell us where data is being posted -- for example, YORK, DURHAM, etc. To date, more work is needed to finish the 1901 census, and I believe the AFHS is finishing the 1906 with only Saskatchewan finished. After working for all of the researchers for over seven years to get the 1911 and later census records passed, I definitely would hate to have a real mess of the transcribing. Could we have a list of WHERE finished pages are being posted, and we hope this includes Automated Genealogy -- easy to search. Muriel M.
