To all:- A number of people have suggested letters be sent directly to Dr. Ivan P. Fellegi, Chief Statistician, hopeful he may surprise us by releasing the Canadian 1911 census records. The release date was June 1, 2003. WE are requesting transfer to History and Archives Canada, known to us as National Archives, and entrusted to the care of the National Archivist, Ian Wilson. Also -- there should be NO restrictions -- only simple plain transfer!! Thanks to Gordon's "little black book" the following is the address:- Dr. Ivan P Fellegi Chief Statistician of Canada RH Coats Building Holland Avenue and Scott Street Tunney's Pasture Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0T6 Tel: (613) 951-9757 fellegi@statcan.ca There are two URLs below my name -- do some reading on both, there are postings and editorials dating back to 1999. Any information may be copied or changed to your wording. We do have a suggestion that YOUR letter to Dr. Fellegi be copied, preferably in BCC to your Member of Parliament http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Index6.htm or to you Senator (or both) http://www.globalgenealogy.com.com/Census/Senscore1.htm also to either myself or Gordon Watts Gordon would then post your letter on the scoreboard of the Member of Parliament or the Senator. We all have different family stories, whether lost relatives, Home Children, so letters to Dr. Fellegi will be greatly varied. Letters do not need to be posted to the census list, unless preferred, as we will be able to read these on the scoreboards. Should anyone know genealogical societies, this posting may be forwarded -- I would like to see Dr. Fellegi covered with letters!! Muriel M.
