Hello Shirley:- Ontario has one RED X -- a Member of Parliament but I really dislike the RED X on the Senate scoreboard of my native province. I have not checked the other provinces -- but hope he is the only Senator. If totally against census release, I feel there should be a reason -- Senator Lorna Milne has worked so hard to assist all of us in our family research. Possibly the ones with RED X's do not realize that Genetically Inherited Diseases can be traced via census and other documents. My brother had MS for 44 years, died March 16, 2004, but I learned about it due to Letters of Administration when an estate had to be settled, due to death of my gr.gr.gr.grandfatherm in 1783. His wife died in 1829. A gr.aunt died in 1909 after 30 years of MS. Sincerely hope the ones who are appointed or elected will provide suitable excuses or very good reasons -- unless the secretary answers all the mail. Be sure to watch the Acadian Festival show on CBC Thursday at 7 PM -- it might give some extra pride in heritage!
