Hello Martin:- Of course, you will not receive an answer -- but ALL of us should write to Dr. Ivan P. Fellegi. At the same time, make certain YOUR Member of Parliament or Senator or the one of the area you are researching are copied in. Above all, send us a copy of the letter. There is a Census Information Office -- it costs money if data is found, paid in advance, but returned if nothing is found. I believe they give answers up to 1981 census, and if interested, I will give the address. My personal feeling is that Dr. Fellegi would not care about any references should you publish your family history -- he seems to be hanging onto the census records with an iron fist!!
