Greetings All. In the next little while I will be paying visits to the offices of Canada's Federal Election hopefuls in my area. The purpose of these visits will be to find out what their positions are in regards to public access to 92-year-old Census records as per the Access to Information and Privacy Acts. I encourage everyone to do the same and I invite you to post the results of those visits on the Canada-Census-Campaign mail list, or directly to myself for redirection to the CCC list. Your response should include the following information: Name of Province and Federal riding Name of Candidate Political Party of Candidate Position regarding public access of 92-year-old Historic Census records, i.e. whether supportive or otherwise. Please restrict your responses to the issues relating to Census records. PLEASE DO NOT POST THESE RESULTS OR RESPOND TO THIS MESSAGE ON ANY MAIL LISTS OTHER THAN THE CANADA-CENSUS-CAMPAIGN MAIL LIST. Administrators of mail lists to which our Post-1901 Census posts are sent have been gracious enough to allow them to be posted. We are very appreciative of this and do not wish to jeopardize their hospitality with an influx of what may be considered as off-topic messages or responses. To subscribe to the Canada-Census-Campaign mail list send a message to: Canada-Census-Campaign-L-request@rootsweb.com with only the word SUBSCRIBE in the subject line and body of the message.

Greetings All. It seems that rather than downloading and collecting signatures on our NEW petitions, some people are still using the OLD ones. Please download and use the NEW petitions. The OLD petitions were worded in general terms and did not accomplish our goal. The NEW petitions are worded in very specific terms and leave no doubt whatsoever as to what we seek. It gives the wording of a single clause to be added to the Statistics Act that would ensure both the transfer of Historic Census records to the care and control of the National Archivist, and continued public access to all Historic Census records 92 years after collection. The suggested clause to be added to the Statistics Act has none of the conditions or restrictions that Bill S-13 had. Like Bill S-13, the OLD petitions are dead. Please download and use the NEW petitions when gathering signatures. Thank you all for your support. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.

Greetings All. As expected, Prime Minister Paul Martin today called for the dissolution of the 37th Parliament of Canada and announced a Federal Election to be held on Monday 28 June 2004. For the next thirty-five days incumbents and political wannabees for 309 ridings will be pounding the pavement and holding meetings with the hope of gaining your votes. We encourage all to attend any meetings held in your area and question the candidates regarding their position on public access of 92-year-old Census records. Challenge each of them to include the issue of Census release on their agenda. When all is said and done there will be a great many changes on the MPs scoreboard. Let us hope that many of those changes will add gold ticks of support. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.

John, I don't live in Montreal, but grew up near there & spent quite a bit of my younger years there. My son Ryan lives there & am sending him a copy of this to see if he can find any records of the St. Gabriel, Presbyterian Church there. St. Gabriel's has always been known as a Roman C. church, and in those days they were baptized in any church where they could find a preacher to do it. This occurred in the area where I was raised & for many years a Presbyterian Minister was not allowed to perform baptism's/ marriages etc. & only the R.C. Priest was allowed. I think it was Rev. Bethune who was in Montreal & moved to my territory that had this practise changed.

Greetings All. Those having genealogical interests in British Columbia should be aware of a Bill that the BC Legislature has pushed through with great haste. So far as I am aware, no genealogical or historical societies had been approached for input to Bill 43 -- VITAL STATISTICS AMENDMENT ACT, 2004 Introduction and first reading of this Bill took place 10 May, second reading on 12 May, and discussion during Committee of the Whole and third reading took place yesterday, 17 May 2004. As I write this, debate during Committee of the Whole and third reading of the Bill are not yet available in the Provincial Hansard. Bill 43 increases the restrictions on who may access Vital Statistics records of Birth, Marriage and Death. Even parents of a child who is over 19 years of age cannot obtain a birth certificate for that child. It is very restrictive regarding who may obtain certified certificates of Birth, Marriage and Death, and distinguishes between these and 'registrations' of same. It specifies in the legislation time frames before such 'registrations' might be accessible by the public. In most cases those seeking information on ancestors would be more interested in the registrations of BMDs than in obtaining certified documents for them. The current Vital Statistics Act of BC does not codify time frames, nor does the Regulations for the Vital Statistics Act. Through the BC Archives, registrations of Birth have been available after 100 years, Marriages after 75 years, and Deaths after 20 years. Bill 43 codifies the time frames for access to registrations of Birth to 20 years after death or 120 years after Birth -- an extension of twenty years over what has been allowed up to now. For registrations of Marriage the period remains as 75 years after the event, but adds the provision that both parties must be deceased for more than 20 years. Access to registrations of Death remains at after 20 years. We should all be concerned not only about the speed with which the BC government has pushed this Bill through, without known consulation with the genealogical and historical communities affected, but with the extended time frames and restrictions as to whom might access these records. This affects our access not only to records of the future, but to those records we have been able to access up to today. Clauses in Bill 43 may prevent access to records from other than the government who charges exhorbitant fees for them. Currently the 'registration' documents for BMDs are available through microfilm purchased from the government by various agencies such as libraries, archives and universites. Through these agencies photocopies of these documents are available for as little as fifteen to fourty cents per page. Up to this time, British Columbia has been a leader (in my opinion) not only regarding the time frames in which BMD information has been available, but for the fact that the indexes for these records have been available online. The restrictive terms of Bill 43 are, in my opinion a great step backwards. I will be contacting my MLA to express my concern and outrage about the terms of Bill 43 that affect our ability to research our ancestors, and about the speed with which the Bill has been pushed through. I urge all with genealogical concerns in British Columbia to do likewise. To find out who the MLAs for British Columbians are go to www.legis.gov.bc.ca./index.htm Click on "Members" and the resulting page will allow you to search by Postal Code to find out who your MLA is. The MLA's page gives their biography and contact information. Bill 43 may be accessed at the following URL http://www.leg.bc.ca/37th5th/1st_read/gov43-1.htm Wherever our residence and/or genealogical interests lie we should all be concerned about the attacks on our rights to access information regarding our ancestry. Since 911 these attacks have been increasing -- both in Canada and the United States. We must be watchful in our own Provinces and States for legislation that restricts our access to these vital records, and we must take the necessary steps to let our government bodies know we object to unreasonable restrictions to access. We do not wish to see unlawful use of these records but anyone seeking information for illegal purposes is not likely to be seeking information on people born 100 or more years ago. Happy (?)

Hi everyone on the Montreal, Quebec Research & Scots in Canada lists & group, I have looked up 1830 & 1831 for DAUPHIN, BELLOW, BELLEAU, BALLO, BILLOW, DAVIS, CORNELL, McLENNAN, STENHOUSE, HENNESSY, DOODY, CUMMING,CUMMINGS, LAURIN, LARIN, LORRAIN plus my two, DODS & BENNING. And found nought/zip. I also had time to look at 1832 again before the film had to go back, to look for the names requested after I first got the film, with the same result. (at least you can cross them off). I will let every list know before the next film arrives, so you can book in your look up request's. Anyone have easy access to the Montreal non-catholic BDM index?

Greetings All. We are receiving questions relating to where to send Census petitions when they are completed. On the Post 1901 Census Project website, on the same page from which petitions are downloaded there is a link to Instructions for Petitions. These instruction give information regarding how to handle the petitions, INCLUDING where to mail them when completed. These instructions are also downloadable. Sorry for any confusion regarding the Instructions being separate, but with the last petitions we had some picky government scrutinizers who voided some petitions when the instructions had been double-sided with one of the signature sheets. We felt this would be avoided by keeping the Instructions separate. I guess I will have to make the link to the instructions larger and more noticeable. To answer another question we have received -- Please DO NOT WAIT UNTIL AFTER the expected federal election to start gathering signatures. It takes time to collect signatures. Petitions we receive beforehand will be held for presentation until AFTER the election but we would like to have a large number of signatures for presentation IMMEDIATELY Parliament resumes sitting with the new government. If we wait until after the election to start collecting signatures there will be delays before a reasonable number of signatures can be presented. The faster we can present petitions to the new government the better chance we have of seeing something done. Thank you all for your support. Happy Hunting Gordon A.

I am trying to find any descendants of an Alexander Chisholm (wife Margaret ms Raffan - married 1869 in Southwark, Surrey, England) who came to Quebec, Canada between 1870 and 1874/75 - daughter Alice was born in Aberdeen, Scotland Dec 1969. Daughters Isabella (age 6 on census) and Mary (age 1 on census) and Son Alexander (age 3 on census) were all born in Quebec (taken from the 1881 Canadian Census - Census Place: Ste-Gabriel, Hochelaga, Quebec). Other children my great-aunt said they had were Flora, Becca, James and Mabel; however this may not be correct. If anyone has any information that could help, I'd be more than pleased to hear from you Thanks! Jennifer A. BC

Don't know if this will help, but a distant cousin Margaret Orr m. Tom Duncan in Ormstown Que. Canada. This place is south west of Montreal Que. This would of been in the early 1900's. Many Scots settled in this area in the early 1800's. This area is close to the US border & many moved to the US because of large families, the son's had to move on (usually west) to get land/employment.

Boston States Migrations Family History Weekend, Friday June 11 - Sunday June 13, 2004 Waltham Massachusetts The "Boston States Migrations" includes more than 400 years of circular migrations between eastern Canada, New York and New England for a whole array of ethnic, religious, occupational and family groups. Many folks went west only to return to this circle of families that still go "over home", even if the homefolks say they are "from away"! Politics, war, trade, famine, disease, shipping practices, land, rivers, turnpikes, canals, railroads, timber, mining, the Industrial Revolution, the growth of both urban and farm communities created push/pull factors for group chain migrations. Collateral families, neighbors, co-workers and parish members created "sister communities", where resources in one location solve puzzles in another. Join us for a weekend of events and resources, featuring Sandra Devlin, Atlantic Canada Genealogy Columnist; Paul Bunnell, Loyalist Resources; Maureen Taylor, Photo Identification, Preservation, Heritage Albums and Scrapbooks; Sharon Howland, Washington County Maine Resources; PLUS! Family History tables, migration videos, vendors and regional history resources. Space is limited for the June 11 video replay of the 1999 Boston States Fair migration patterns, ships and railroad resource talks, as well as the June 13 Family and Group table reservations.
