Greetings All. Prior to the 2001 National Census of Canada being taken we suggested that respondents should make use of the "Comments" section on the Census form to voice their support for access to Historic Census. We also posted a brief statement of that support that could be printed and included with the form. In making these suggestions we did so without any real expectations of being able to find out the numbers of those that followed them. I recently asked Statistics Canada about the numbers of comments supporting access that had been written on the forms. This morning I received the following response from Mary Ledoux of Statistics Canada "Gordon, I've heard back from Census Operations Division and have been told that a systematic review is being undertaken of the notes that appeared on the forms for the 2001 Census but this work is still underway and a summary of the findings has yet to be completed. Certainly these notes would have been examined as part of the various edits which are performed on the forms (at the enumeration stage, and again at the high level edit of household completeness) if the information in the note was relevant to the operation being performed. But the more systematic review, which selects a sample of forms and categorizes the comments in order to produce weighted estimates to represent the universe of comments received, will provide much more insight into the feedback given by Canadians. This study is expected to be completed within the next couple of months. In addition to written comments on the questionnaires, we received a number of inserts which supported the release of historical census information. I am told there were approximately 400 such inserts included with questionnaires." I have asked to receive a copy of the summary of findings when it is completed. In a population exceeding 32 million 400 is an insignificant number. We are pleased that at least that number included our inserts with their Census forms. Insignificant as it may be, 400 of these inserts is certainly sufficient for the bureaucrats to take notice of them. I await with interest the summary of the written comments yet to come. The support of all is appreciated. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.

I want to share my experience in researcing my Irish ancestors county of origin and see if what I found was common among other researchers. According to my McGovern family stories we either originated in County Antrim or County Cork in Ireland. My great grandfather, James McGovern, originally from Ireland, stated he was from Co. Antrim. His eldest brother, Bernard McGovern, also from Ireland, stated they were from Co. Cork. (Don't know if this matters or not, James converted to a Protestant religion and Bernard remained Catholic. I noticed Co. Antrim is predominantly Protestant, Co. Cork is predomintately Catholic). Here is where the story gets even worse. After researching for approximately a year I made a big discovery while looking through ship manifests. I found my McGovern's on a ship from Liverpool, arriving NYC on March 9, 1849. Included were guess who, Bernard and James, and the family listed Co. Leitrim, Ireland as their place of origin. I have done alot of research since then to try and prove or disprove these were my ancestors and all the information points to the ship manifest as being correct. Has anyone else run in to family stories about County of Origin in Ireland that did not pan out? What was the big deal about what county you were from and that a person might mis-state where they were from? Thanks, Don McGovern Researching: McGovern and Cullen's, 4th Ward NYC __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Greetings All. Files have just been sent to update the Scoreboards for Members of Parliament and Senators. I believe that I am now up to date with the responses sent to me. MPs Derek Lee (Lib. - Ont), Brian Masse (NDP - Ont), Rex Barnes (PC - NF & Lab), and Stephen Harper (CA - AB) have been awarded gold ticks of support. Totals as of this time are as follows: House of Commons For 160 Against 6 Non-committal 59 No response 74 Senate For 35 Against 3 Non-committal 17 No response 42 If you have had a response that differs than that shown for your MP or Senator please send it to me so that the Scoreboards might be updated.

Greetings All. I have just got off the telephone from speaking to Canadian Alliance leader Stephen Harper on the Peter Warren talk show (broadcast nationally across Canada). I asked him for his position on access to Post 1901 Census records. While he stated that he would want to see specifics of what we are seeking, he was generally supportive and felt that the current situation regarding non-disclosure was too restrictive. Based on his response I will be awarding him a gold tick of support on the MPs Scoreboard. Moderator Peter Warren has been supportive of our efforts in the past, and expressed the opinion that we were "going to win this one". 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
Greetings All. The recent announcement of Prime Minister Jean Chretien that he would not be seeking re-election is welcome news. I say this not for any political reasons, or for stating any political or personal views, and would ask that readers of this message not inundate the lists (or myself) with protests about political messages. In my view, more important than the statement that Jean Chretien does not intend to run for re-election was his follow-up statement that he would be concentrating on the business of government until February 2004. What this means to those of us that seek to regain public access to Historic Census records in Canada is that for the next 18 months we can expect some stability in government and that we are unlikely to be facing a snap election that would interrupt our campaign and require us to start over once again with another new government. It is to be hoped that long before February 2004 we will have succeeded in our goal and will finally have access to 1906 and 1911 Census records, with the expectation of continued access to subsequent Census' 92 years after collection. Our legal action is proceeding and our Memorandum of Fact and Law will be completed and presented to the Federal Court shortly. We continue to be optimistic about the outcome of this action. To ensure the success of our efforts there are things that we all must continue to do. Some of those things are: -- Check the MP and Senator Scoreboards on the Post 1901 Census Project website to see what the position of your elected and appointed representatives is. -- Contact your own Member of Parliament, either in person at their Constituency offices, or by letter, to seek their support for a Bill that would allow the access we seek. Currently, Senator Lorna Milne's Bill S-12 is the only one in the running. A number of MPs have indicated they will not respond to people from outside of their own riding, so it is important that their own constituents contact them. Concentrate your efforts on those who have not yet responded to our questions, or who have not given a definitive answer. -- Contact Senators for your own area seeking their support for Bill S-12. It is expected that S-12 will be facing third reading shortly after Parliament resumes sitting in September (or October). If passed in third reading the Bill will be referred to the House of Commons for processing there. -- Forward any responses you might get from MPs or Senators to me so that their position on the Scoreboards may be updated. -- Signatures on petitions are still required to show a relative indication of support for our efforts. Download and circulate the petitions. Remember that the same people may sign both the petition for the House of Commons and the one for the Senate. People living outside of Canada MUST use the Non-Resident petition. Please use the proper petition as downloaded. There are specific rules regarding presentation and format of petitions and signatures have been disallowed because the proper format was not followed. (Names and signatures on a sheet of paper without having the wording of the petition at the top is not allowed. Nor are we allowed to tape such a sheet to another having the wording of the petition. Signatures sent in this manner are lost to us.) -- Spread the word of what we are trying to accomplish. It is not enough to support our cause -- that support must be visible to those in power. Talk to friends, neighbours and relatives about it and encourage their participation and support. Write letters to your local newspapers, call in to radio and TV talk shows to let others know about our efforts and why we seek to regain access to these invaluable sources of information. -- Send Access to Information requests for the 1906 Census of the Western Provinces to Statistics Canada. When that request is refused, send a complaint to the Information Commissioner. See my columns at http://globalgazette.net/gazce/gazce83.htm and http://globalgazette.net/gazce/gazce84.htm for more information about doing this. The more people that are aware of the problem the greater will be our support to have it changed. That support must be visible to our elected and appointed representatives. The greater the support shown to them, the sooner we will succeed in gaining the change we seek. With the help of all who read this message, we will succeed. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.

I have noticed on several web sites that "Potters Field" is sometimes listed in the cemetery sites. Just out of curiosity, why is it that "poor people's" cemeteries are referred to as "Potters Field". How did this terminology begin? Sherry

Sorry Yvonne Most of the names are Irish but no Donnellys. This was just the program from one show in 1923 so it was pretty narrow. I remember that a man named Rowan was the director and his family moved to the Adirondacks. Last I knew his daughter in law was still alive, maybe she has some insights.I can check through mutual friends slainte sheila

I am looking for the family of my great grandmother that was supposed to have come from County Cork, Ireland somewhere between 1900 and 1905. Her name was Kate or Katherine Malloy, at least one of her sisters also came over with her. Her name was Mary Agnus Malloy. The other sisters were Elizabeth, Nellie and Annie. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Sherry Corder
