I agree that it would be nice if all those people changed their minds and followed Susan's advice but we are talking about over 14 Million people. Since the genealogy world already mounted a campaign at Census time to get friends and relatives to mark Yes, I doubt if there are many more that we can reach. The effort would probably be better spent in convincing the government to remove that question from the 2011 Census.

Watts Subject: 2006 Census question Hi Mike -- I do agree with that aspect of it -- but that leaves about 44% of family researchers or others without family data from 2006. Check Susan's message at the bottom It is meant for those who said NO or left the space BLANK. I would push this in all OGS and other groups.
