MAY BE TRANSLATED AND FORWARDED To all:- When one looks at the QUEBEC section of the Member of Parliament Scoreboard, it looks like a large BLUE sea!!! I love the province of Quebec, including Hwy. 20, and most of all, the glimpses of the St. Lawrence River. Why? It is the route to Down Home -- Nova Scotia!!! Census Records are one of the main research tools in genealogy, seeing who lived where, family members, ages, occupations, etc. Researchers may never be able to peek at the 1911 census of their family members, unless we unite and work together for the release to National Archives. http://www.globalgenealogy.com/census/index6.htm Constituents of the following should send notes of thanks for YES replies as to whether he/she would SUPPORT census release:- ANDRE BACHAND GHISLAIN LEBEL DAVID PRICE DIANE ST.JACQUES There are FIVE others who are wavering between YES and NO -- it is hopeful their constituents will let them know the census release is needed for Quebec as well as other parts of Canada. The YES/NO ones are:- The Rt. Hon. Jean Chretien; The Hon. Alfonso Gagliano; Clifford Lincoln; The Hon. Pierre Pettigrew; The Hon. Lucienne Robillard. [Please note: I prefer NOT to mention political parties] Please find YOUR constituent and try to ascertain whether he/she is in favor of Post-1901 census records release. Many Members of Parliament believe they should answer to only their constituents -- on a matter as important as census release, the Members of Parliament represent ALL Canadians. Should answers be received, please forward to:- Jeannine Ouellet <jeannine.ouellet@sympatico.ca> [francais] Christine Joudrey <cjjoud@bserv.com> [anglais et francais] Victor Luce <lucevic@nbnet.nb.ca> [anglais et francais] or to myself -- either language Muriel M.
