    1. Great Work by Ontario 1911 Census Records Transcribers!!!!!
    2. Muriel M. Davidson
    3. To all:- I have been working in a group of transcribers -- we obtained 100% for Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Yukon and NorthWest Territories -- now we hope to finish New Brunswick and celebrate the long weekend with 100% for that province. Checking provinces is fun at http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/ The following figures concern only Ontario:- Ontario is 77.72% transcribed -- terrific -- as there are many counties! Simcoe East is 98.93%; Simcoe North 79.86%; Simcoe South 100.03% Peel County has 100.02 (the enumerator wrote extra lines) Other ONE HUNDRED PERCENT CLUB Counties are:- Dufferin; Durham; Elgin East; Elgin West; Elgin North; Elgin South; Grey South; Haldimand; Lambton East; Lanark North; Oxford North; Oxford South; Lennox and Addington; Middlesex West; Muskoka; Parry Sound; Northumberland West; Peterborough East; Peterborough West; Prescott; Waterloo North; Wentworth; and York Centre - these records have 1911 street maps of Toronto . Many counties are in the 98% and 99% bracket -- only a few lines more to transcribe -- it does become addictive as I have learned. However, when finished, even though the 1911 records should have been released in 2003, we will have family records to check, and compare with the 1901 online records -- the 1906 ones are for three western provinces and are slowly being transcribed. Again -- a great big THANK YOU to all transcribers, Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee Brampton, Peel Co., ON
