----- Original Message ----- From: "Gordon A. Watts" <gordon_watts@telus.net> To: "Canada Census Campaign" <CANADA-CENSUS-CAMPAIGN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, September 24, 2004 3:39 PM Subject: Post 1901 Census - Information Commissioner responses Greetings All. I contacted the office of the Information Commissioner this morning. In a message received from Mr. Reid on 17 September he indicated that he felt his responses to our complaints against Statistics Canada should be in the mail by the end of this week (i.e. today). While responses to others may now be in the mail I learned that the response to my own complaint was not. This may be because my name is somewhat down the line alphabetically, but this is simply speculation on my part. My normal contact when I call is currently on vacation and I was advised by the 'duty investigator' that the process of my own complaint was 'not yet completed'. He indicated he would have someone check further on my complaint next week next week and they would advise me as to the current status. I requested that when my response was mailed that they fax me a copy as well. Assuming that others lower in line alphabetically may now have their responses in the mail, should anyone receive their response early next week I would greatly appreciate it if they would fax a copy of it to me at 604-942-6843.

Hi Jo-Anne, Almost every French family in Paspebiac is related. Many married their cousins. I will look up and see what families we connect through. Rose Ashland,MA. USA

Hi Gary, Philippe married Laura ,Sudbury, ( Quebec? Onterio?) 12 7 1926 Her parents are not mentioned. Vol. D page 61 I will try to find more info. Would you like more on David Theriault and Celina Duguay's family? I can go back further. Rose

My Ancestry is Duguay from Paspebiac. My Great Grandmother was Sophie Loisel (Loiselle) and Romain Duguay was my Great Grandfather. My Grandfather was Francois Xavier Duguay. I wonder if your Loisel and mine are related?? JHiscock

Would anyone have the marriage registry for Paspebiac, Bonaventure, Quebec. I believe the data I'm looking for is from Notre-Dame-de-la-Purification. Looking for the marriage details and parents for the following couple David THERIAULT & Celina DUGUAY. I'm also interested in finding out if their son Philippe Henri THERIAULT (Harry) who was born there in 1886, married there... and what was his wife's name. Their marriage data and her parents would be nice too.
