What will happen if a 2B form is discarded or returned incomplete? Question 8 about release in 92 years is one of the easy ones. Some of the long form questions would be hard to answer even for a person with a simple life. We know the county that most of the direct ancestors left when they moved to Canada (1818 - 1912) but the earlier generations seemed to be confused about the family origins for the generation born before 1800 based on the variations in census years 1851-1911. We have eight complete generations of family pictures in the direct line starting with the first couple to settle in Peel County. The man's sister also lived in Ontario but not in Peel County, one picture of her with her husband. -- Elizabeth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Muriel > As for the short form -- it certainly does not give much information, > whereas the long form asks a number of questions that StatsCan might like > to have answered, but which I find invasion of privacy.

Elizabeth I had an email from someone in Nova Scotia -- believe this was the 2001 census forms -- the person did not wish to complete the income area nor did she wish to state she was living common-law -- NONE of the government's business!!!! However, Diana left these blank and she had a visitor -- she did not mind admitting her marital state but lessened her income -- it satisfied the caller. As usual I am copying in Gordon Watts -- we work together on some things, but this is in his department.
