To David Tilson, MP -- Dufferin-Caledon:- Congratulations on your election in the Dufferin-Caledon riding. We sincerely hope you will be in agreement with the following. Canadians, assisted by people of other countries, have been working since March 1999 for the release of the 1911 census records, which were scheduled to have been released June 1, 2003. Census records are not only necessary when searching for family members, but these were also the last records enumerated before World War One. To date we have both 1901 and 1906 online, the latter of three provinces http://automatedgenealogy.com/ If you check you will notice only basic details are given - no private data. The Canada Census Committee have a scoreboard -- you are on http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Score3.htm#ON At present we do not have an existing census release bill, but are collecting petitions -- see http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/ Sincerely hope you will exchange the Blue ? for a Gold tick meaning YES. If not, we request you give us your reasons - 92 years is long enough. Muriel M.
