Hi Robert. Nice that you think of us on this list as professionals? While you have the right idea about how to go about it, you have unfortunately contacted the wrong list to help in your specific quest. I am sure that anyone having specific information to assist you they will contact you privately but I must tell you that the main purpose of this particular list is not for individual searches and queries. The Canada Census Campaign mail list was set up to provide a forum for those interested in gaining public access to Post 1901 Census records in Canada. Your questions and comments relating to this would be most welcome. While you gave a township and county in your message you did not give what Province. You mention Eastern Townships of Canada so I assume you are referring to one of the Maritime Provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, or Prince Edward Island. Your best bet is to join a mail list for the area of your search and post your query there. Rootsweb maintains many such lists and they can be accessed through http://www.rootsweb.com . I wish you luck in your search. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.
