To all:- The subject line really does not need an answer -- it is the overdue report of the Expert Panel, received by the Hon. John Manley, PC, MP, on June 30th, 2000 -- we have yet to learn if he has read it. Mr. Manley desires lots and lots of letters -- his office needs to be re-papered -- so let's supply him with sufficient letters -- all black on white! Addresses:- Hon. John Manley - MP <Manley.J@parl.gc.ca> Hon. John Manley - MP <Manley.J@ic.gc.ca> Snail mail:- The Hon. John Manley, PC, MP / Minister of Industry, House of Commons, / Parliament Buildings, / Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6 [For those who do not know -- PC stands for Privy Counsel] When you are typing an e-mail, please include your full address, including e-mail address AND PRINT ONE COPY to be sent by mail -- FREE postage. Make certain the envelope is large enough -- even if 10 x 12 -- FREE!! By doing this, the envelope will not be overlooked! One Member of Parliament PHONED me today (I prefer e-mails or letters) and he will be meeting with Mr. Manley tomorrow. He asked me WHAT researchers were hoping for on the census records for their research. I told him what I wanted -- plain family facts -- and he agreed there should be no problem with that. I will give an example:- District --( Summerville Centre, Queens Co., Nova Scotia) Family Name / Name of Person / Sex / Marital Status / Relationship /D.O.B./ Religion (for extra research)/Place of Birth/Origin/Occupation/ >From the above, I will learn my family name was FARQUHAR, grandfather was William H. Farquhar / Male / Married / Head (of household)/Nov 7, 1853/ Anglican/Place of birth -- was Nova Scotia/Origin - Scottish / Farmer & Fisherman My grandmother (hopefully) would have her maiden name in brackets: (Ford) Ida / Female / Married / Wife / Anglican / May1, 1862/Nova Scotia / Origin is English / occupation is teacher [Anglican was generally written as C. of E.] Following this would be my Aunt Mabel, Uncle William, my father Gordon, plus gr.grandmother Isabella (McIntosh) What the 1911 census would not state is that two uncles, Cecil and Roland died between the 1901 and 1911 census records. Sincerely hope all agree with me!! We do not need any financial listings -- compare the dollar value today to that of 1911!! Check: http://www.globalgenealogy.com/census/index6.htm Check the standing of YOUR Member of Parliament or copy him/her anyway. Many have sent copies of letters being forwarded -- let's give him bags of mail -- we want the Expert Panel report!!!!! Muriel M.
