To all:- There are many valuable and interesting lists hidden at ONE Canadian genealogy site, so as it is a holiday weekend, let's explore!!!! http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Farm/7843/poll.html At present, until YOU have convinced YOUR Member of Parliament to support Canadian census release when any Bill or Motion is introduced in the House of Commons -- we must continue to keep census data and lists at this site. As soon as we have the census records released to the National Archives so we can peek at them in 2003, more great sites will be added. The main one to search and visit this weekend is NFLD./LABRADOR GEN MAILING LIST. To find it, click on "other sites", scroll down to this one, on the "second page" of genealogy sites. All will be greatly surprised when they click on "Project 21" -- it just happens to be one of my favorites and anyone with Newfoundland and Labrador heritage should be checking this site. Check:- http://www.globalgenealogy.com/census/index6.htm You will find that only TWO Members of Parliament have responded, both Progressive Conservative. The others are LIBERAL Party and as usual, belong to the "I do not have to reply as I have been elected" group -- consistent with the Liberal Party of Canada. [Some are in SUPPORT of census release -- will he/she be allowed to vote that way?] If you like this NFLD./LABRADOR GEN MAILING LIST, contact the Member of Parliament. I know the census is open there up to 1935, but future laws could prohibit publication of these census records. On the Scoreboard, to be published before a federal election, at the right-hand side is a pop-up place where you may email the MP. Write a letter to the Member at:- House of Commons, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6 -- Postage is FREE if mailed in Canada. IF anyone receives a reply, email the pertinent paragraphs to me, please. All Liberal Members presently have blue ???? -- have not replied!!! Muriel M. Davidson <davidson3542@home.com> 25 Crestview Avenue Brampton, Ontario L6W 2R8

To all:- My apologies to Newfoundland's Grand Bank Site -- this was a surprise to all who wanted to go searching!!! Thanks, Don, I know "Project 21" is a link but a fantastic link!!! Muriel Just for your information. Project 21 (as referenced in your message) is nothing more than a link from their site to the Newfoundland's Grand Bank site which is the home of the Newfoundland 1921 census and the largest repository of original Newfoundland source documents on the Web. For the month of July it had nearly 450,000 visitors to the site to research through their accumulated information. It is now housed as part of the Maritime Research Center on the Dalhousie University research center in Nova Scotia. It would have been nice if you had identified this as the Newfoundland's Grand bank site rather than letting it appear as if it were information on another site. What people see when they click on your reference is nothing more than a link to our home page. Don Tate Project Coordinator Newfoundland's Grand Bank site http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Heritage/NGB ================================== Don and all:- I merely copied the listing given by Bryan Keddy on http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Farm/7843/poll.html [This site is maintained by Bryan -- I share it with him!] It is a valuable site, regardless of where it is and what it is called -- I want answers from FIVE Liberal Party Members!! Will be in touch, Don -- we seem to be progressing a bit!! Muriel M. Davidson <davidson3542@home.com>
