Greetings All. Copied below is an extract from Hansard for Debates of the Senate of Canada for Wednesay 5 June 2002. It makes mention of a "solution" to the Post 1901 Census issue that was to be presented to a Cabinet committee today (Thursday 6 June 2002), and then to Cabinet next week. I am concerned that with recent activities in Ottawa, the Census issue is likely to receive little attention by the committee or by Cabinet. I am attempting to obtain information as to what this "solution" is but chances of being successful in this are likely 'slim to none'. Dr. Fellegi's, or Statistics Canada's (which is the same thing) public statements about the reasons for withholding the records do not stand up to scrutiny. They have not received the public outrage that they sought in their "broad based discussions with all Canadians". They have not proven that knowledge records would be available after 92 years would inhibit cooperation of respondents to Census. Quite the opposite, in fact. They have been strangely silent since the report on the Town Hall meetings and focus groups was made public. I am not aware of a single comment they have made about that. What we seek, and what we expect to receive, is unconditional access to Post 1901 records on the same basis as those records up to and including 1901 are currently accessible. Anything short of that will not prevent the legal action from going ahead. There is no justification for discriminating between those records up to 1901 and subsequent ones. Our lawyer, Lois Sparling, advises me that the next step is a motion for a ruling over her questions for the defendants and related matters that is scheduled for the monthly motions court heard in Calgary on Thursday June 20. I had a twenty minute long distance telephone conversation with Elaine Carey, reporter for the Toronto Star this morning. She is working on an article about the Census issue and our legal action. She had already talked to Senator Milne, Muriel and Lois. She indicated that Dr. Fellegi would not speak to her on the basis that "the issue is currently before the courts". I am looking forward to seeing her article which she hopes will be in the Star on Sunday. Cheers. Gordon A.

Michael Kirby: Honourable senators, with leave of the Senate and notwithstanding rule 58(1)(a), I move: That notwithstanding the Order of the Senate adopted on April 25, 2002, the Standing Senate Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology, which was authorized to examine and report on Bill S-12, to amend the Statistics Act and the National Archives of Canada Act (census records), be empowered to present its final report no later than September 30, 2002. The Hon. the Speaker pro tempore: Is leave granted, honourable senators? Hon. Senators: Agreed. Hon. Lowell Murray: Honourable senators, I do not rise for the purpose of expressing objection to this motion. However, I wonder whether the chairman of the committee could explain the reasons for the extension of time that is being sought by the committee on this matter. Senator Kirby: Honourable senators, I had a discussion yesterday with Senator Murray, who moved the motion to send Bill S-12 back to the committee, and with Senator Milne, the sponsor of the bill. My original hope had been to seek a two-week delay. A solution to the issue raised by Senator Murray is in fact to go before a cabinet committee tomorrow. It had been my hope that it would go to the cabinet committee tomorrow and on to the cabinet next week. We would then call Dr. Fellegi, the Chief Statistician of Canada, the following week. Unfortunately, he is going out of the country on Monday and will be gone for three weeks. He will not be back until after the Senate has adjourned for the summer, even if we sit until the end of June. I picked September 30 to ensure that we would deal with the issue as soon as we come back from the summer recess. Honourable senators, I am happy to make a commitment to the house on behalf of the committee that, if the issue is not resolved, we will have Dr. Fellegi as a witness at the committee's first sitting following our return in September. Motion agreed to.

This caught my attention, as when I first began to do research on my family...I, like may novices, only looked for the correct spelling. How frustrated I became. Then a very sweet person from a list explained to me that , in the U.S. at least, Children learned how to spell their name from their Teachers many times....who spelled it how she or he THOUGHT it SHOULD be spelled. In my Case, I research BUSSELL and have found my own relatives in Census and other documents under BUSTLE, BUESELL, BUSSELLE, and other spellings. I have found my GLOVERS with the Spelling of GLAUER due to , perhaps, poor writing or olde English spellings?

Good morning, looks like I will get to go first. i am researching my SCOTS IN CANADA folks, listed above. My Grandfather Walter George Glover ( wife Isabella SCOTT Glover) moved, with their family, from HAWICK Scotland in early 1900's. Walter settled in BIGGAR Saskatchewan circa 1910. My Mother was Born there in 1914. Walter and Isabella's children: Jessie Glover DYMOND, she passed away this Memorial Weeked at 98 years of age Margart Blover MOORE, my Mother, she passed in Kansas in 1968 Jimmy Glover, a wee renowned musician in the 1930's, He died young, and I have found little on him. Bert Glover, was a DJ on the Radio in Ontario and a musician of Dixiesland Music. He passsed circa 1990's in Guelph Ontario Scotty Glover deceased ? George Glover deceased ? John Cameron Glover, Son of Water and ? Portius. I will gladly share any info I may have that are of these lines, and would love to share yours! Thank you Marcia Collins

Help wanted! In the census of 1825 for Lower Canada, under Buckingham, it reads: John Cameron 2 males between 14-18 not married 1 male between 25-40 married 2 females under 14 1 female between 14-45 not married 1 female between 14-45 married Someone found info on marriage of Margaret Cameron, daughter of John and ? with Allan McMullin son of Hugh and Jannet Cameron on Apr. 16, 1860 in Buckingham, Québec. They got dispense of 2nd degree. Witnesses: John (sic) Robichaud and John B. Martin. Could the 2 females under 14 be Catherine and Margaret? How could I find out more? Catherine Cameron is my ggrandmother born 1830 in Glengarry, Ontario, and (unfortunately for me!) her marriage records were burned in a fire in 1849 in Buckingham. I can't determine who her parents were. In the baptisms of 3 of her children, Margaret Cameron is listed as a sponsor, so I am assuming that she was a close (?) relative. Please HELP!

Greetings All. I have just been advised that Dr. Ivan Fellegi's appearance before the Senate Committee reviewing Senator Lorna Milne's Bill S-12 has once again been postponed. I am advised that the postponement is a result of further behind-the-scenes activities that may soon (hopefully) result in some announcements regarding public access of Post 1901 Census Records. I have no idea yet what such announcements may contain but the fact that some activity is still happening is encouraging. Postponment of the appearance of Dr. Fellegi, and return of the Bill to the Senate is supposed to be short-term -- perhaps one week. At the request of lawyers working for the Information Commissioner, yesterday I shipped more than 36 pounds of documentation to them. This documentation pertains to my research on access to Post 1901 Census Records. The lawyers are working on a complaint by Professor Bill Waiser because of the denial of Statistics Canada on his Access to Information Request for access to the 1906 Census of the Western Provinces of Canada. Things seem to be happening on a number of different fronts. We will keep you advised on anything that we might learn. What we are seeking, and what we expect to obtain, is access to Post 1901 Census records on the same basis that we currently have for those records up to and including 1901. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.

Hi, Not meaning to complain, because I would be happy to view the 1901 census but....I have downloaded the mrsid browser plug in probably 5 times. Each and every time I install I get the message that one of the files did not self-register and another file required to run the program cannot be found. Can anyone help me out? I also have 2 land descriptions from the Western Land Grants and am having difficulty plotting them on an old CNR map. NE part Section 29 Township 14 Range 2 EPM According to this old map it should be somewhere around Wavy Bank (not sure about the name, it is hard to read) which corresponds to nothing on a newer map. I end up somewhere a little east and between Balmoral and Stonewall, Manitoba. Can someone either confirm or point me in the right direction? The second one is: NW part Section 30 Twp. 2 Range 17 W1 Does this put me near Killarney, Manitoba? Thanks for any help or advice. Judy Buller Saskatchewan

Hi Rob. You are to be commended on your individual effort to index for the the 1901 Census for the areas of your interest, and to offer it free of charge for others to use. If others did the same thing it would not take long to see a full indexing of the census. Might I suggest that the NA might appreciate receiving these indexes from yourself and others? You might also send a URL where the indexes are posted to Muriel Davidson as well. She has a website where she posts links to Census information and indexes. Her address is muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Thank you also for your kind words and support. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.

Secondly, what I am doing to make this better, is to create an index for the areas I ma researching, and then post them for free on the web. I am starting with the town of Keewatin in Kenora District. Once it is done, I will offer it to the host of the Kenora District GenWeb Site. After I have completed that one, I will continue on through other towns of personal interest. And finally, I am going to email the folks at the National Archives, thanking them for what they have done for us. I will be suggesting that it would be nice if it was faster, but thanking them, none the less. Oh, and by the way, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your efforts. With out people like yourself............well, ya know what I mean. Thanks Gordon.

Greetings All. I have, within the past five minutes, received a fax from the clerk of the Senate Standing Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology. This is the committee that is reviewing Senator Lorna Milne's Bill S-12 -- An Act to amend the Statistics Act and the National Archives of Canada Act (census records). The substance of the fax is that the delayed appearance of Dr. Ivan Fellegi, Chief Statistician of Canada, will take place on Wednesday 5 June 2002. The Committee is due to return the Bill to the Senate no later than 6 June 2002. We will look forward to seeing what Dr. Fellegi has to say. His testimony will be reported in my column on Post 1901 Census as soon as it is available. Happy Hunting Gordon A.
