    3. To all who are transcribing or wanting the 1911 census:- YUKON Territory has been named No. 1 for 100% completion of all pages, with 18,700 lines transcribed!! I have checked all counties in provinces, the ones in the west are all below 10% for Automated Genealogy, which is a Canada-wide site and records go to Library and Archives Canada. The highest number of counties in any province is Lunenburg County in Nova Scotia with 83.45% or 28,998 lines. Next to this is Digby with 75.37% and 15,827 lines. Yarmouth County has 68.71% and 16,456 lines transcribed. Some researchers have already been printing off the work of others, but I would hesitate to do this until I see the proofreaders have finished their "second look" at our work. Transcribing is simple -- http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/ We worked very hard for the 1911 census -- are we going to let the unfinished pages sit there? One person complained there were too many mistakes in one site, but printed it anyway. Let's get with it and then tell the proofreaders we are ready for them. Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee P.S. -- When we finish the 1911, there is still proofreading to do on the 1901 census!!!
