To all:- Many have become acquainted with the excellent work done by Bryan Keddy - web pages, the LCCCC site with coast-to-coast-to-coast genealogy URLs. Due to the pressing need to keep information flowing to all about the campaign to obtain release of the Canadian Post-1901 census records, Bryan has added a very catching query to the first page. Go to http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Farm/7843/poll.html Scroll down and the new item will "hit one in the eye" Click on it -- it will transport you very quickly to the official Canada Census Campaign pages. The next line -- PETITIONS to be downloaded, English, French, Non-Canadian The scoreboard is next -- the date should be October 23 -- but I know Bryan did this on November 23, 2000. Number of people who have used this site have not increased as rapidly as Bryan and I had hoped -- yes, you guessed it -- it is a joint site -- "born" July 1, 1999. Present count is only 20,140 -- let's shock Bryan!!! Although other census campaign sites have the words "globalgenealogy" in them, it is because the space was provided by this company in 1999. The Canada Census Campaign committee members are volunteers -- spend long hours on behalf of all -- hoping for release of post-1901 census. Due to the election call, with voting Nov. 27, all Bills and Motions "died on the order paper" --meaning Senator Lorna Milne's Bill S-15 became defunct, and all previously signed petitions were noted in Hansard, but are now useless. [Watch for a new photo of Senator Milne -- a smiling one -- the way I know her] Senator Milne will be using the same wording in a new Private Member's Bill on our behalf -- when Parliament re-convenes. There could be a petition from the House of Commons -- we will know after Nov. 27. Very often I am told to stop the political memos -- CENSUS IS HISTORY AND THE ROOT OF GENEALOGY. Yes, the memos do seem political, but only because we have had to resort to legislation changes -- with your assistance, any Bills will hopefully get passed -- we will see the Report of the Expert Panel -- and not have to download any more petitions. Stop by the LCCCC site -- you will be amazed how many genealogy sites there are -- more needed from various areas. This is an invitation from Bryan and myself, Muriel M.
