To: the Hamilton Spectator While browsing your various pages, I entered one keyword "census" -- there were many sites, Family Tree maker, United States census -- but NOT one mention of the present plight Canadian researchers are facing as we battle for release of the post-1901 census records. The census records are intact, stored at the National Archives -- but the ones we elected as Members of Parliament prefer not to release even the 1906 as suggested by the appointed Expert Panel. Even the 1911 and 1916 could be released -- instead we must AGAIN resort to petitions, letters to MPs, re-presentation of Private Member's Bills by Senator Lorna Milne and Murray Calder, MP. Information is available at:- http://globalgenealogy.com/census http://globalgenealogy.com/census/index6.htm http://globalgenealogy.com/census/petition.htm http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Farm/7843/poll.html [Check for several brilliantly written editorials which may be copied] Sincerely hope The Hamilton Spectator will assist us in this genealogical battle, Muriel M.
