    1. What Will Happen to Pages Without 50 Lines?
    2. Muriel M. Davidson
    3. To all:- When you are transcribing our long-awaited 1911 Canadian census, can you imagine you are making something and all pieces must be the same size -- or else the "thing" can not be constructed? Have you looked over transcribed census pages and found many pages with a "50" beside the name -- meaning 50 Lines. These pages would all fit in the item called OUR 1911 Canadian Census. Then we find pages with 2, 5, even 23 lines with a name beside them. What will happen to these uneven and incorrect size pages? There is data on many pages as I have checked -- there are ways of doing this, using some old printer skills, etc. When a page has only 23 lines, on the 24th line delete the family name and house number, NOT the line number. Then click on SUBMIT until you reach 51, BEFORE you claim the page. I know the original instructions say to claim page at 1 or 2 lines, PLEASE change this information to above. If anyone has transcribed pages, please check and see if YOU committed making an uneven size page -- the same size is there for a reason. Should anyone desire further instruction, private emails only -- also, due to poor handwriting, I am one of a group - we check our work. Muriel M.
