>>>>> MAY BE FORWARDED <<<<< To all who wish Canadian 1906 and 1911 census records:- Holiday weekends are a time to get together with families, picnics, gatherings, the fun of being together. This is one good opportunity, other than the Labour Day weekend, prior to resumption of Parliamentary sessions. Researchers, other than Canadians, are invited to assist with gathering signatures on approved petitions -- we have the NON-RESIDENT petition for their usage. There are four others, two in English and two in French, with one of each language for the Senate and one for the House of Commons. Many have mentioned he or she does not like Adobe Acrobat, but here is a little trick (courtesy of Gordon Watts):- http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Petition.htm Chosse the Petition you desire to PRINT (or download) Click on that Senate or House of Commons Petition Go to File, scroll down to Print -- Generally one would need ONE copy of Pages 1 and 2, and as many as needed of Page 3 -- the one with 25 spaces. Does this not sound easier? If not, I have attachments! Signing on pages other than approved petitions is fine as long as the few lines on Page 3 are written or typed at the top of the page. Also, the committee approving petitions may toss out some I have received which do not have addresses of signers -- sorry about that - but it states addresses must be given. Also, mix up the colours of ink -- all black looks like photocopying. We need many more petitions for both Senate and House of Commons -- this is the PROOF we have to provide the census records are desired by all of us. Senator Lorna Milne is working to help us -- we have to support her! Muriel M.
