Le débat, en deuxième lecture, sur le projet de loi S-18 a été ajourné le 2 décembre au nom du Sénateur Noël Kinsella. En début de semaine, la possibilité existait que la deuxième lecture se conclurait et que le projet S-18 serait envoyé au Comité des Affaires sociales, des Sciences et de la Technologie. Même si la toile internet du Comité ne porte aucune réunion au calendrier, la possibilité d'une réunion le mercredi était plausible. Évidemment, cette réunion n'a pas eu lieu. Le Sénat a siégé mardi, mercredi et jeudi et a été ajourné au lundi, 13 décembre. Bien que le Sénateur Kinsella ait été présent durant ces trois jours de session et qu'il ait parlé sur plusieurs sujets, aucun débat n'a été tenu sur le pojet de loi S-18. À tous les jours, S-18 était listé en priority sur l'ordre du jour du Sénat. Il est évident que cet ordre du jour importe peux car plusieurs sujets de moindre importance ont été discutés à la place du projet S-18. J'anticipe que la dernière journée de session du Sénat avant l'ajournement pour Noël sera le jeudi, 16 décembre. Il y aura donc quatre jours, tout au plus, pour finir la deuxième lecture du projet S-18 et pour le référer au Comité afin de suivre l'échéancier de fin d'année pour le finaliser. Selon le calendrier parlementaire, le Parlement ne siègera pas avant lundi, le 31 janvier 2005. Entre le début de session du Parlement en janvier jusqu'à l'ajournement pour l'été, il y aura 68 jours de session, peut être 78 jours s'il y a prolongement. Il n'y aura donc pas tellement de temps pour finaliser le projet S-18 au Sénat avant de refaire tout le processus devant la Chambre des Communes. S'il y a le moindre espoir, avant la fin de la session pour l'été, de retrouver l'accès public aux données des recensements, nous devons continuer nos efforts pour informer nos parlementaires de l'importance que nous y portons. Par le passé, le gouvernement a déjà acheminé avec scélérité un projet de loi important pour eux au travers du processus entier. Il nous faut faire que le projet S-18 soit important pour le gouvernement afin qu'ils accélèrent le passage du projet de loi S-18. Bonne chasse." Gordon A.

I have uploaded the handful of tombstone transcriptions I have to my site; http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~earbar/ should take you about 2 minutes to view them all ;-) regards, beth

I've found the following list from the National Library of Canada to be an invaluable tool for genealogical research - As a 'Catalogue of Census Returns on microfilm 1666-1901', it not only points you to the right Canadian m/f, but also shows you to which county a town belonged in a particular period. You can just check the province, Quebec in this case, and get a complete list of municipalities, or enter a locality, ex the recenlty discussed 'Newport' and see that it belonged to Compton county and to Sherbrooke county at different times. A site to bookmark!! http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/020121_e.html Lorraine in Montreal

May I suggest that if you have persons in the Huntington, Dundee area that you look at Fort Covington, Franklin County, New York. This is a sister city right on the border and many persons listed in information for Huntington, etc are buried, married and enlisted in the Civil War in Fort Covington and area just across the border. ie, surnames such as Hopkins, Blodget, Arnold, Baker, Brunson, Blanchard, Briggs, Butolph, Danforth, Dewey, Drum to mention just a few. There are also census records for 1820 and 1860, etc on this site with "Canadian" as birthplace.

Hello Mat; Thank you for putting the info on-line from the 1905 Record. It is frustrating to get the tapes at the FHC and after going thru' them , finding maybe 1 or 2 items of interest, and then finding the Printer there is broken. My FHC has this problem, so I am thinking of buying a Camera to take with me. Can anyone advise me the best outfit to buy- it has to be reasonable in price and easy for a technically-challenged old gal to master.

http://www.rootsweb.com/~qchuntin/census/1861/franklin/index.htm There are many from Ireland on these pages of the 1861 Census Page 19, 20 and up. There are many scattered through the other pages with other surnames. Large Families of McGrarty, Eusto, Turcot, Jarvis, Jarvo, Pigon, Fasorou, South, Cassady, Gallaher, Brady, Mcguire, Waller, McMillan, Wilson, Blair, McGovern, Saunders, Meahen, Liery, McVicker, Wright, and quite a few more. I'm posting these here as many are unusual names and immigrants are hard to find in this period of the 1850-60's/

I have to commend the Huntington Genweb ("English" Quebec- Eastern Townships) for their extensive records and cemetery transcriptions. There are many familiar names,,,Henderson, Connell, Brunson, Baker, and many more and most importantly many of the monurments state Tyrone, Ireland and many other places in Ireland. There is a Gleaner page of the old newspaper that allows for a surname search and the articles are actually there to read. I personally went to the site from a www.copernic.com search looking for Dundee and found the land records with concession and lot numbers back to 1800 approx. A great resource, that I highly recommend. Gloria

Dear Sir:- I know about this same-sex problem personally and feel the word "marriage" should be eliminated. A nephew told me they want a legal commitment so both could have medical benefits and other items known to "man-and-woman" marriages -- basically, the right to care for the other financially through his/her place of work. Can you imagine the ?fun? of doing family research in years to come, but as the number of years is 92, we will not be around to encounter this problem. Census records will very definitely be changed -- one partner will have to be listed as the HEAD of the household. This is one bit of governmental mismanagement I sincerely hope "goes down the drain" -- and get on with more pressing and needed matters. Muriel M. Davidson Brampton, ON

FROM THIS WEEKS NEWSLETTER FROM THE NEHGS - If you have not e-mailed your representatives about this yet - please do. Access to Birth Records Threatened The threat of further restrictions and the possibility of outright denial of access to vital records have loomed over the heads of genealogists for years. Records vital to researchers are proving more difficult and more costly to obtain, while concerns over privacy and identity theft continue to mount. The most serious challenge to accessibility was recently submitted to the House of Representatives in the form of bill HR.10, which has passed through the House and is now included in a Senate bill known as S.2845. If the bill passes, individuals requesting birth records would be required to provide the name on the certificate, the date and location of birth, the mother's maiden name, and substantial proof of their own identity. Additionally, if the requester is not named on the birth certificate, the state will require the requester to present legal authorization to request the birth certificate before issuance. In October, David Rencher, chairman of the Record Access and Preservation Committee, a joint committee of the National Genealogical Society (NGS) and Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS), sent a letter to the bill's sponsor, Congressman J. Dennis Hastert, recommending an amendment to the bill that made a distinction between certified and non-certified copies and excluded records more than 100 years old. This recommendation was ignored, and will not be considered by the Senate as part of S.2845. In the most recent RootsWeb Review newsletter, readers were encouraged to write to their senator and suggest an addition to Sec. 3061 (b)(1)(A)(iii). The proposed addition would read who is alive on the date that access to their birth certificate is requested, which would be added as number (iii), under (A), in the excerpt from the bill shown below. The term 'birth certificate' means a certificate of birth-- (A) for an individual (regardless of where born)-- (i) who is a citizen or national of the United States at birth; and (ii) whose birth is registered in the United States; and (B) that-- (i) is issued by a Federal, State, or local government agency or authorized custodian of record and produced from birth records maintained by such agency or custodian of record; or (ii) is an authenticated copy, issued by a Federal, State, or local government agency or authorized custodian of record, of an original certificate of birth issued by such agency or custodian of record NEHGS strongly urges all of its members and readers of eNews to join the effort in allowing reasonable access to vital records for research purposes. Please take a moment to write your senator and suggest the addition to the bill noted above. For a list of email addresses of U.S. senators, visit http://rd.bcentral.com/?ID=2378525&s=56351935. The full text of S.2845 can be read at http://rd.bcentral.com/?ID=2378529&s=56351935. Type S.2845 in the bill number window and then select item # 3; then go to subtitle B - Identity Management Security; chapter 2 - Improved Security for Birth Certificates.

The best resource for Quebec place names is the book Noms et lieux du Québec - not only is it the official list of names in the Province, but it holds fascinating bits of history, with the origin of the name and sometimes the first people who lived there. As far as I know, it is only available in French, but major libraries probably have this rather large book in their reference sections. An on-line version can be found at http://www.toponymie.gouv.qc.ca/topos.htm As there are names of other small places mentioned and those of some early settlers, I thought the ET List might be interested in this very much abbreviated and roughly translated version of what appears (note that there are many entries for this name - I'm only reporting on the entries for the ET) Newport (canton) canton = township - The name appears on a map in 1795... It's about 30 km to the east of Sherbrooke ... Eaton River and the Sherman, Island and Lyon Brooks cross this territory where the hamlets of Island Brook, New Mexico, Lawrence Colony and Randboro are located. Newport (municipalité de canton) - No longer exists as a municipality since July 2002... At that time, the municipality of Newport, the town of Cookshire and the municipality of Eaton were regrouped to form the new town of Cookshire-Eaton. The name of Newport was preserved to designate a territory that corresponds to the former municipality of this name. ... The name exists in the ET since the end of the XVIII century ... Edmund Heard settled in the territory with his family in 1794. In 1795, he formed a company with Josiah Sawyer ... In 1851 there were 356 inhabitants, all of British extraction. .. There are many hypotheses about the origin of th name ... the official version claims it comes from a village in Ireland, but other versions say it was named for the capital of the Isle of Wight, others claim the name comes from Monmouthshire ... but it also might simply have been named by Loyalists coming from one of the many Newports in the US ...A region known for its beaautiful landscapes and fishing, it is located between Saint-Isidored'Auckland, to the South, and Bury, to the North ...

Stoke (Richmond Co.) ; Hampton (Compton Co.) ; Ditton (Compton Co.) ; Marston; Whitton (Frontenac Co.) ; Clinton (Frontenac Co.) ; Chesham (Frontenac Co.) . This was the first 'good' census in that all family members are named and age-next-birthday, as well as country-of-birth and religious affiliation. There were 50 names to a full page/folio so there is quite a bit of information. The Agricultural portion is 1 line/household and serves as an unsorted index as well as giving Range-Lot etc info.

Remember, as you read the following -- Bill S-18 is a government bill -- Muriel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gordon A. Watts" <[email protected]> To: "Canada Census Campaign" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, December 10, 2004 1:52 PM Subject: Post 1901 Census Greetings All. Second Reading debate in the Senate on Bill S-18 was adjourned 2 December in the name of Senator Noél Kinsella. At the beginning of this week there were some indications that Second Reading might be finished and S-18 referred to Committee, with the Committee of Social Affairs, Science and Technology possibly meeting on it as early as Wednesday. This even though the Committee website shows that there are currently no Committee meetings scheduled. Obviously this has not happened. The Senate sat on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week and has now been adjourned until Monday, 13 December. While Senator Kinsella was shown in attendence for each sitting day this week, and he did speak on other things, no further debate took place this week on Bill S-18. On the Senate Order Paper Bill S-18 has daily been shown high up in the order of items listed, however it would appear that this order has little meaning as many other items, lower in the list, seem to have taken precedence over S-18. I expect that the last sitting day of the Senate before adjournment for Christmas will be Thursday 16 December. This gives at most four sitting days for Bill S-18 to complete Second Reading debate and to be referred to Committee if this is to be accomplished in a timely manner (i.e. this year). According to the Parliamentary Calendar, Parliament will not resume sitting again until Monday, 31 January. From the time Parliament resumes sitting in January until it adjourns for the summer recess there will be 68 sitting days, possibly 78 days if an extension of sitting days is invoked. Not a lot of time for Bill S-18 to finish being processed in the Senate and then to go through the hoops once again in the House of Commons. If we have any hope at all, before Parliament recesses for the summer, of regaining the public access to Historic Census records we seek, we must continue to inform our parliamentarians how important this issue is to us. Government has been known to rush something through Parliament that is of importance to them. We must make this an issue that is important to them so that they will take steps to expedite passage of Bill S-18. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.
