Hello Sandy:- I am copying your item of news to CANADA-CENSUS-CAMPAIGN list, someone might know more -- it is one of my favorite topics, anyway. I have suggested Non-Canadians assist with petitions to help get our Post-1901 Census records released. The site is given as follows:- http://www.globalgenealogy.com/census/petition.htm Senator Lorna Milne will be presenting a Private Member's Bill when our Canadian Parliament re-convenes following the recent election. All petitions from British Home Children people will be presented in one HUGE (we hope) package and be recorded in official Hansard. The invitation is out -- gather up petitions and send to me -- address given. Muriel M.
