Hi to all. Well here is some news for everyone. We have started to verify the posted material in the 1921 census. It is not going to be an overnight job but we are starting to work our way through it. The Burgeo and LaPoile District was finished Yesterday and posted last night. The new files have been verified back to the original handwritten pages and any necessary corrections have been made to these communities. You will find spellings, ages, relationships as they are on the original pages except that some of the abbreviations for some of the months. Other than these, all of the entries should reflect the original page handwritten entry. The other item that is not exactly as on the original page is that we have typed in the correct entry rather than use the many multiple ditto marks to save on confusion as to what they refer back to. We have added into the new pages, the Dwelling and Family numbers plus inserting the page number to show the original page the information came from. Go through the menu system on the site to get to the new files. If you use Google, you may get the old unverified version of the files. Using the Recent menu should also get you to the right place. Your "Favorites" and/or "Bookmarks" will need to be updated or refreshed to access these files. The policy of the Newfoundland's Grand Bank Site is to post all material in the same manner as the original publication This to include any spelling or other errors that may have been made in the original publication. If there is a need to provide another opinion as to what the enumerator wrote, there will be a way of taking care of this. Any requests for corrections to the 1921 census (Or any of the Business Directories) from now on will be verified back to the original page to assure that the posted information is the same as found on the original page. We also posted the entire Sharp's Business Directory of 1885/86 yesterday as well. It covers the City of St. John's, Carbonear and Harbour Grace. Mary Rawlinson and her group of transcribers have finished this one and it is available now for all to use. You will find it along with the rest of the Business Directories. Some other recently added items are: A number of Obits which have been posted. See the "Recent" button at the bottom of any page to see newly posted Obits. St. Brendan's Marriages (1890-1990) for the Bonavista District area. Trinity St. Paul's Anglican Church has more Marriage records posted.
