The following is from Malcolm from ACDB-Canada, and explains about our new plain forms for transcribers of the 1901 and 1911 census records. We do have a good supply from which to choose, and all may be posted on personal or genealogical sites. There has also been a request for OLDER forms with questions on http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/post1901census.htm 1825 to 1901 http://simmons.b2b2c.ca/CENSINFO.htm Later:- http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/datalib/censusq.htm [Apologies for not knowing who posted the last site] All forms are available at http://www.archivecdbooks.ca/downloads.html Gordon is on vacation -- but has his laptop [SHHH!] so may take advantage of the new forms -- more to follow to help all. Let's work to finish the 1901, 1906 and the 1911 and remember Automated Genealogy is still only in TEST format -- some places are missing, but this will be corrected. Sincerely hope all post transcriptions to their GenWeb and to Automated Genealogy. which is attached to Library and Archives Canada. Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee [A note of thanks to the ones designing the forms would be nice] -------Now on to the important message from Malcolm:- === Hi Again, There are now more choices on Canadian census forms thanks to Pierre Godin. Pierre has made an EXCEL format form which is a close copy of the actual census form. It has the headings in both English and French and there are 50 lines per page. Pierre also made a PDF format of his EXCEL form for those of you who would prefer to print out the form and fill it in by hand. Because the 50 line form was very cramped he cut the number of lines to 25 and it gives a little more room. It's still pretty compact though. There may be an MS Word version of David's EXCEL form coming but I'm still waiting on that. The forms are available from: http://www.archivecdbooks.ca/downloads.html go to the bottom of the page. It was getting a little confusing as to what form was what , so we've renamed the download links with the originators name and the following is what's now available: 1901 Download(32KB) Janice's MSWord format - this is a short form (major headings only.) 1911 Download(29KB) Janice's MSWord format - this is a short form (major headings only.) 1911 Download(40KB) David's Excel format - this is a long form (most headings) and is "wrapped'" so it fits the top and bottom halves of a single page. 1911 Download(33KB) Pierre's Excel format - this is a long form (all headings) and is a close simulation of the actual census form. 1911 Download(178KB) Pierre's pdf format - - this is a long form (all headings) but with only 25 lines - for printing only.
