To all -- Transcribing is progressing very slowly in our last three provinces, British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. As I have been working in Saskatchewan -- I fully understand the reasons - the enumerators used lots of ink and broad pen-nibs - in many cases the name becomes a ?. Canada is now transcribed with percentage at 97.42% ALBERTA........................... 83.68% BRITISH COLUMBIA......... 80.24% SASKATCHEWAN............. 90.95% The first four listings in Saskatchewan are 100% Moose Jaw now stands at 94.19% - others lesser. Many thanks to all who are working on these last few pages - we need our census complete to add to our genealogy and family history. Should there be others willing to spend a few hours, send a note to me -- if I do not have the information will obtain it - Let's try Celebrating May 24th in Saskatchewan! http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/ Sign on with email (safe from spammers) and a password of your own. I have a list of transcribers -- you could ask to be added, as well, or try what you can do on your own. Muriel M.

Just added some old photos to site: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NSDocpho The old train is a post card photo that was mailed from Middleton to a PO Box in Westville, Pictou. Did Westville folks pick up their mail in Pictou? The date is missing as the postcard had been cut down to fit in an album. I believe that its between 1910-1914. The train photo itself may be older. The Port George Schooner is an older photo that was among my great Aunt Cora Belle Bolser's collection. She left Port George for Boston in the 1880's. The bay packets were the transportation link of their day. Many emigrated to the States this way so maybe this was a reminder to Aunt Belle. I enlarged the photo and you can see people and cargo on the dock. Would love to see other photos so please feel free to add some. - John

To all -- We all have newspapers -- very often our neighbourhood ones are the best as things get overlooked in large papers. This is an approved copy of one I had posted in my local paper. Note the way I have set it up re address of editor and YOUR address - contact name and phone are important to verify the letter is not SPAM (it also happens in newspapers). You may do a re-write, as long as you have the basic information, and be prepared, some editors may also change things -- but I doubt if the numbers will be changed. Lets have a Letter Writing Bee - may be delivered -- to newspapers across Canada. [Many people do not have computers] Leave the spaces as below -- the editor will squish them together! Muriel M. Davidson, Co-chair, Canada Census Committee Former Women's Editor of The Brampton Guardian **************************************************** ----- Original Message ----- From: "muriel m davidson" <muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca> To: "Roger Belgrave" <rbelgrave@thebramptonguardian.com> Sent: Monday, April 02, 2007 10:24 PM Subject: Letter/Copy Re 2006 Personal Data Census Question To Roger Belgrave:- Letter to the Editor Submitted by Muriel M. Davidson Phone 905-451-3542 25 Crestview Avenue Brampton, ON, L6W 2R8 Further information available, Roger. ------------------------------------------- Genealogists and family historians view the 2006 census results with saddened hearts. Only 55 percent of the 31.6 million people counted answered "YES" to releasing their census information in 92 years. This means that 45% of those searching ancestors in 2098 will be unable to locate earlier family members. Some may not be aware of the seriousness of this question and its impact on future generations. The privacy of personal information is paramount in today's society. >From the perspective of family history, however, the privacy laws risks sealing records that are key sources in tracing a family tree. Most of us will have passed on in 92 years. By then, four generations could have come along and produced the next family historian seeking information. Where will that genealogist go for information on grandparents or great-grandparents? Genealogists turn to such records as the census in hopes of finding information. Their glimmer of hope will soon fade to disappointment and heartache if their ancestors have refused to release personal census information. Those who answer "NO" must have a reason, but is it one that your great-grandchild might accept in 92 years? Those who didn't bother to answer YES or NO to the census question are letting someone else decide for them. For a genealogist, the issue is not what answers were given on the census, but that in 92 years there's proof that you existed. The data provides a better understanding of who you were and where you lived. There is still a chance to change your answer to a "YES". The question in English can be found on the Statistics Canada website at http://www12.statcan.ca/english/census06/reference/info/personal.cfm To view it in French, click on the Francais link in the top left corner of the link bar at the top of the page. The page is filled with much census information, and at the right, third section down, is how to obtain form to change your NO or BLANK to YES -- it would be nice to increase the percentage to 100%.

The records of Chandlers Funeral Home in Liverpool have been filmed and are available at NSARM or at the QCHS. and one of the Halifax funeral homes have been filmed or transcribed. I cannot find a Stuart Holms or variation in the 1911 Census What information are you hoping to find in the mortuary record if it exists? bob gillis

Hi List, I am just wondering about these records, I viewed a death certificate on my g.g.grandmother who died in 1921 and I have very little information on her, the name of the mortician is "Stewart Holms" this death occurred in May of 1921 in Brule, Colchester County Nova Scotia, would this person have kept any records on the person he attended to at death. I won't hold out to much hope but it is worth a try Kim in Ontario

European commercial interests were active in what is now Nova Scotia for several generations before Columbus. I'm not picking on you or anything but it is time that Columbus myth be put to bed. One little clue about this is when the French met Mi'kmaq in 1604, the chief Messamouet spoke fluent French. French, Spanish, Breton, Basque and other peoples had seasonal, ressource extraction, settlements in many parts of Atlantic Canada.

Hi Listers, Thanks to all who answered my query about "three stickers". I am now looking for a possibly very obscure verse "When MacGillivray winked his eye." It was about a lawsuit. A line of one of the verses was: " He swore the grass was growing green, When the snow was three feet tall." I have Googled every combination I could think of but no luck. The author could be Capt.R. Knowlton of Advocate Harbour ( or not). Can anyone help? Take Care, Elaine, from grey and coolish Ontario.
