To all:- Although the 1901 census was released in 1993, and placed online at Automated Genealogy when the 1906 (three western provinces) census was released January 24, 2003 -- to date there are still needed transcriptions of all three. The AFHS (Alberta Family History Society) is doing a great amount of work, but even they report parts of 1901 and 1906 not finished. The images of the 1911 census have been made available at 1911 Census Images http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/1911/index-e.html Many report these are difficult to read -- no full date of birth. Hopefully the family has been in the same area for 10 years, so one can use 1901 Automated Genealogy to assist-- http://automatedgenealogy.com/census/ As the Automated Genealogy is still in a TEST mode and may be possibly connected to Library and Archives Canada (LAC), many who have been transcribing will find the work on GenWeb sites. However, I sincerely hope it will also be placed on Automated Genealogy as this has all of Canada on one site. [Gordon deals with this part of the census work]. Please note the many untranscribed areas to date for 1911 http://www.automatedgenealogy.com/census11/Test4.jsp I will be doing both transcribing but mainly proofreading in my home area of Nova Scotia as I know the family names. Something new has been added -- blank census forms for transcriptions!!! Janice Bolton and Dennis Sharpe are both from United States, California and Missouri respectively; I believe Pierre Godin is from Canada -- has a bilingual form and there is a new one added today. 1901 and 1911 Blank Census Forms http://www.archivecdbooks.ca/downloads.html Go to above site, scroll down until you see CANADIAN CENSUS BLANK FORMS. It will be perfectly alright if all are copied to webpages as we copied the Census Logo in 2000 -- but I request credit be given to the designers by keeping the names on the forms, regardless of whether you change the access address. Several forms are for the 1901 census and balance for 1911, in both WORD and EXCEL. To date, there have been over 3,000 downloads according to Malcolm of Archived Books. Check for the memo posted earlier by Gordon Watts about whom to complain to should names, places, be incorrect. If necessary, we will post both of these again next week, due to vacation periods -- or missing them -- at present, please PRINT. Other people have asked for forms prior to 1901 - questions at http://simmons.b2b2c.ca/CENSINFO.htm -- found on http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/post1901census.htm Hopefully we will still have eyesight after staring at the images -- look forward to the next ones -- they might be better!!!
