Thank you Sheila, for your kind words and Thanksgiving wishes. They are much appreciated. As serious as we are in our quest to obtain access to Historic Census, it is truly a sad day that we cannot find a bit of humour here and there. To all of our Canadian listers I wish the best Thanksgiving ever. We could truly give thanks to John Manley if he would see fit to release the Report of the Expert Panel. To our listers from the US, we will send Thanksgiving greetings to you next month. Happy Hunting. Gordon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sheila Ward" <sheilaward@home.com> To: "Gordon A.

Gordon, we may have to take you off this project if you can't be more careful. Three errors! Help just ain't what it used to be. And a happy thanksgiving to you and Muriel. More than a few of us amateur genealogists have included you in our "thanks" this weekend.
