Greetings all. What up to a few days ago was speculation has now been confirmed. On 17 September the current session of Parliament was prorogued, effective 30 September 2002. Members of Parliament have been summoned to meet on Monday, 30 September 2002 at two o'clock in the afternoon, for the dispatch of business, thus starting the second session of the 37th Parliament of Canada. The effect of this is that all unfinished business from the prorogued Session ceases to exist. All Bills and Motions - government or private members - that have not been fully processed and completed, end up in the dumper. This includes Bill S-12, Senator Lorna Milne's Bill on access to Census, that we expected to achieve third reading in the Senate shortly after Parliament resumed sitting after the summer recess. It is expected that both Senator Milne, and MP Murray Calder will re-introduce their respective Bills in the Senate and the House of Commons. This would be a second chance for Murray Calder's Bill which was deemed non-votable and received only one hour of debate in the House before being dropped from the Order Paper. However both Bills would be starting from square one, having to go through first reading and all other steps that they had been subjected to previously. It means that the Bills, when presented, will have new numbers. It means more time and further delays before we achieve what we seek. This would be the third time that our Bills have had to start from scratch. With a new start we must renew our efforts to gain the support of those elected and appointed representatives who have not responded to our questions. We urge all to check the position of their own elected and appointed representatives on the MP and Senator Scoreboards on the Post 1901 Census Project website. Send letters to them, either thanking them for the support they have already expressed, or seeking support from those who have not given a definitive answer to our questions (i.e. fence-sitters or no response). If you have, or receive, a response that differs from the position shown on the Scoreboard for your representative, please forward a copy to me so that I might update the Scoreboards. Copies of letters you send would be helpful as well. We must also renew our efforts in collecting signatures on petitions. Not having had an election with a new government, we are not starting over again on petitions but we need to continue with efforts to obtain new signatures. So far we have sent more than 55,000 signatures to Ottawa, however with a population of Canada in excess of 32 million, there remains a great many people interested in genealogy and history that have not yet signed a petition. Some may question the effectiveness of our petitions and the need to continue collecting signatures, saying that having already sent more than 55,000 signatures, adding to these numbers will have little additional effect. The fact of the matter is, however, that numbers of signatures on petitions is the only tangible, visible, evidence we have to show that genealogists and historians seek to regain public access to Post 1901 Census records. Presentation of petitions in the House of Commons and the Senate, showing the numbers of signatures received, is permanently recorded in Hansard, showing for all time that we seek these vital records. Letters and email to MPs, Senators and other officials are very necessary. They may, in fact, outnumber the number of signatures on petitions. However, we do not have any means of knowing the numbers of letters and email sent and so cannot point to them, as we can with petitions, as proof of our desire for access. Do not give up hope. We may have hit another snag in our efforts to regain public access to Post 1901 Census records. There is no question, however, that with the help of all we will achieve that goal. It will just take a little longer to do so. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.

Canadian Genealogy Centre symposium On Friday 13 September 2002 I received a letter from Ian E. Wilson - National Archivist of Canada, inviting me to attend the first symposium of the Canadian Genealogy Centre entitled "Canadian Genealogy Online: Building an Innovative Model of Co-operation" to be held in Gatineau, Quebec, at the Canadian Museum of Civilization on November 1, 2 and 3, 2002. The letter of invitation stated: "The National Archives of Canada, with the National Library of Canada, is developing the Canadian Genealogy Centre in order to better serve Canadian genealogists. With the assistance of Canadian Heritage and other partners from archives, libraries, and genealogical and historical societies, this new Centre will also offer genealogical content, services, advice, research tools and the opportunity to work online on group projects, in both official languages. We hope to foster dialogue between genealogists, and current and potential partners in order to gain a better understanding of their needs and expectations." The symposium will consist of a number of plenary sessions and group discussions as follows: Session 1: Relationships between users and stakeholders providing genealogical services. 1. Which consultation strategies and methods should the CGC adopt? 2. What are the needs of the users and service providers? What genealogical products and services do users and providers wish to have access to through the CCG? 3. What projects should be set as priorities in developing online CGC components and what partnership projects would be required to achieve them? Session 2: Partnerships at the Canadian Genealogy Centre. 1. What are the challenges (responsibilities, commitments, advantages) of participating in the CGC as a partner? What do we mean by the term governance? What governance model would be most effective for the Centre under the leadership of the National Archives of Canada and the National Library of Canada? 2. What services should the CGC provide and what balance should there be between free services and billed services? What role could the private sector play in all of the CGC's activities? What ethical issues could the CGC raise? 3. What would the roles and responsibilities of the various stakeholders be in implementing the CGC in terms of access to information, protection of personal information, and security with regard to developing Web tools? Session 3: Approaches for the Canadian Genealogy Centre and stakeholders with respect to the production and sharing of content. 1. What projects could partners carry out together? (e.g. indexing, research tools and genealogical resource directory.) 2. What's new in the exchange of genealogical information? (e.g. online collaborative tools such as Meeting Place and volunteer mobilization efforts.) 3. What protocols would have to be put in place for quality control of the content? Some meals are provided, and a closing banquet will be given in conjunction with a guided tour of the National Archives of Canada's Gatineau Preservation Centre. Cost of transportation and accommodation, however, is the responsibility of those attending. I suspect some attendees will have assistance from some of the genealogical and historical societies they represent. Others who have been invited may be unable to attend because of the costs involved. Thanks to having collected Air Miles for the past several years I have managed to arrange to attend this symposium. I am advised that Ian Holmes, President of the Alberta Genealogical Society, George Lake, chairman of the Alberta Family History Society, and Rick Roberts of Global Genealogy will be attending the symposium. I look forward meeting them. I have not heard from any others that might be attending. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.

Ken Burns' award-winning documentary, 'The Civil War,' starts airing again tonight on PBS and runs through Thursday night. If you've already seen it, you can re-acquaint yourself with the haunting music, photographs and readings. If you've haven't seen it yet, I can't urge you strongly enough to find the time to watch it. Burns does a phenomenal job of covering just about every battle & moment of this horrific struggle. Of special interest to this list is the in-depth coverage given to the 1863 New York City draft riots. (That should air on Tuesday night.) Please check your local listings for air time. For our friends outside the US, you may be able to find the video series at your local video store under 'Documentary'. Also, PBS will be airing Burns' Brooklyn Bridge documentary soon. I will let you know the dates! Take care, Tracy IRISH-NEW-YORK-CITY list admin

Hi everyone, Just wanted to let everyone know that the Chinese language problem has been resolved. There is still a chance that it may pop up again, and here's how: The thread entitled '19th WARD RC CHURCH' was in Chinese. If you answer on that thread by hitting your Reply button, your message will pick up the Chinese charset from the original message. However, if you care to answer on that thread, please start a brand new email. (You can leave the same subject line if you wish.) As Bob pointed out, it appeared that he was sending in Chinese simply because he hit the Reply button. That's how it propagates. But the list is fine and healthy, and the charset problem has been fixed. I want to thank everyone who contacted me on and off list with help and advice. This is a wonderful list and I'm touched by how you look out for one another. Have a great weekend! Take care, Tracy IRISH-NEW-YORK-CITY list admin

From: Mary Swatta <irishlass12@juno.com> Date: Fri, 20 Sep 2002 10:36:17 -0600 Subject: 1904 City Directory for NY City Dear Listers It has come to my attention that my two uncles John and Hubert Leonard arrived in NY City on Feb 4, 1904 and were going to their sister, Mary Leonard, at 584 5th Ave, NYC. I do not think she lived there but was probably a servant in someone's home. If anyone could look up this address and send me the name, I'd appreciate it. Legend has it that she worked for the Harriman family after arriving in New York. That may be their address. Thanks so much, Mary Sheridan Swatta

Greetings All. A number of people have asked for a point by point summary of the Post 1901 Census issue. Because of this I have compiled the following Summary. Feel free to circulate it to those you feel will be interested. It will shortly be included on the Post 1901 Census Project website which, I am happy to say after the problems of the past few days, is once again accessible. Happy Hunting. Gordon A. Watts gordon_watts@telus.net Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee Port Coquitlam, BC http://globalgenealogy.com/Census en français http://globalgenealogy.com/Census/Index_f.htm Permission to forward without notice is granted. *********************************** Post 1901 Census Issue Summary ** 235 years of Census records, from the first Census of New France in 1666, up to and including the 1901 national Census of Canada, currently reside in the National Archives of Canada and are accessible to any person or body for purposes of research. ** Clauses in the Access to Information and Privacy Acts make specific provision for public access to 'personal' information contained in Census 92 years after collection. ** The National Archives of Canada Act provides that the National Archivist shall determine what records of government are of historical or archival value and that shall be deposited in the National Archives. ** The National Archivist, Ian E. Wilson, has determined that records of Historic Census do have historical or archival value and are, in fact, a National treasure. He has formally requested Statistics Canada to turn control of the 1906 Special Census of the Western Provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba) over to his control. ** Statistics Canada (i.e. Chief Statistician Dr. Ivan P. Fellegi) refuses to turn control of Historic Census records after 1901 over to control of the National Archivist of Canada. ** The rational for this refusal is based on misinterpreted legislation and Instructions to Officers and Enumerators of Census going back as far as 1905, and Statistics Canada's claim that a 'promise' was made to the people of Canada that confidentiality of Census was perpetual. ** Statistics Canada has been unable to provide a single piece of documented evidence that a 'promise' of 'confidentiality of Census in perpetuity' has ever been made. It does not exist! ** In November 1999, then Industry Minister John Manley appointed an Expert Panel to study and make recommendations regarding public access to Historic Census Records. Their report, finally made public 15 December 2000, found no evidence that legislators of the day intended that records of Census were to remain confidential for all time. They recommended allowing public access to all Census records, past, present and future, 92 years after collection. They urged caution only in the method by which records from 1918 to 2001 were made available. ** In making the Report of the Expert Panel on Access to Historical Census Records public, then Industry Minister Brian Tobin discounted the recommendations contained therein, claiming that 'further broad-based consultations with all Canadians' was required. He stated these consultations would take place with already mandated reviews of the Access to Information and Privacy Acts. ** The review of the Access to Information Act took place and the report released with no mention of public access to Historic Census records - it was not part of their mandate. A review of the Privacy Act is not expected to be completed within three years, and access to Census is likewise not included in the mandate of those expected to review it. ** In December 2001 and January 2002 a series of Town Hall Meetings and Focus Groups were conducted across Canada. Of 157 presenters at the Town Hall Meetings, 151 were fully supportive of unrestricted public access of all records of Census, 92 years after collection, in accordance with current legislation. ** Each of these 151 presenters likewise rejected the so-called 'compromise solution' being pushed by Statistics Canada as being too restrictive in who might access the records, what information might be accessed and what might be done with information retrieved. ** The 'compromise' does not do what it is proposed to do. It would be excessively expensive to set up and maintain, and would be a bureaucratic nightmare to administer. It would prevent access for the greater portion of the Canadian population that do not live within reasonable travel distance to a government office holding copies of the Census records. ** Instructions to Officers and Enumerators of Census from at least 1901 to 1946, having the Force of Law, contain clauses that state that records of Census "have value as a record for historical use", that "The census is intended to be a permanent record", and "its schedules will be stored in the Archives of the Dominion." If any 'promise' was made to the people of Canada regarding Census it was this. ** On 5 March 2002, Calgary lawyer Lois Sparling, on behalf of the Canada Census Committee and many thousands of genealogists and historians, submitted an Application for Judicial Review to the Federal Court of Canada. The purpose of this Application is to obtain a Writ of Mandamus to compel the Chief Statistician of Canada to turn control of 1906 Census schedules over to the National Archivist. It was later modified to include a request for certain declarations relating to public access of these records. At the time of writing the legal action is proceeding more or less as expected. ** To date (September 2002), more than 55,000 signatures have been sent to Ottawa seeking to regain public access to Post 1901 Census records on the same basis as records up to and including 1901 are currently available. ** There is still a requirement for signatures on petitions (downloadable from the Post 1901 Census Project website), and for letters to be sent to MPs and Senators seeking their support for access. With an expected proroguing of the current session of Parliament on 30 September 2002 all Bills and Motions (including Bill S-12) will cease to exist. It is expected that Senator Lorna Milne and MP Murray Calder will immediately re-introduce their Census Bills. This will be the third time our Bills have been started from scratch. It is therefore essential that we continue to reinforce our desire for access with our elected and appointed representatives.

Pat, Thanks so much for your reply, I will try her again. The poor girl was so overwhelmed back then, glad to hear she might have some more time for requests. Pam

Hi Pam Marie mentioned that there's a new pastor .... and he's freed her up from a bunch of tasks that really took up her time. It's only recently that she's been able to set aside most of her Tuesdays to work on the backlog of requests. She also mentioned that there is an index that she uses ... but am not clear how that is organized. In any event, she would like to have as much info as possible ... approximate year and parents' names ... She found my 6 children of Patrick Mahon and Mary Ann Murray. I had given her each name and the most likely year. [Those details were on the interment list of the Mahon family plot and on the NYS and US census records.] Might be worth having another chat with her on the phone to she where she's at.

Hi: Looking for an obituary for a Bernard Gallagher, died October 24, 1918 in Manhattan and the undertaker was L. Blascico, Jr. @ 712 Knickerbocker Ave. Brooklyn. He was buried on the 29th October @ Calvary Cemetery. I am trying to substantiate my g-grandfather's parent's. There is a few names going around; on his death cert. it states- Fred Gallagher & Frances Ferry and the civil birth lists( Ireland) - Patrick Gallagher & Annie Ferry. Lastly, a cousin states the parents are Fred Gallagher & Frances Ferry. Hoping, if there is a notice it might state something? Any help would be greatly appreciated. regards, Susan Sydney, Australia
