Greetings All. In the past three years, Statistics Canada has been asked a number of times to produce documented evidence that the "promise" or "explicit guarantee of indefinite confidentiality" relating to Census actually exists. Up to now all of these requests has been unofficial. To date, Statistics Canada has been either unable, or unwilling, to comply with this request. This afternoon I prepared and mailed to Statistics Canada an official Access to Information Request, the wording of which follows: "Statistics Canada, in order to justify withholding transfer of Post 1901 Census Records to the control of the National Archives of Canada, has variously referred to a "promise of confidentiality in perpetuity", an "explicit guarantee of indefinite confidentiality", and "an unqualified promise of confidentiality" that they state were given to Canadians by the 1906 government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and subsequent governments. By this Request I seek ANY, OR ALL, DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE that supports the existence of this "promise of confidentiality in perpetuity", "explicit guarantee of indefinite confidentiality", and "unqualified promise of confidentiality" relating to Census. I further seek ANY, OR ALL, DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE that would support that for Censuses from 1906 and later, the general public of Canada was advised that confidentiality of Census would last FOREVER." Under Access to Information legislation a response must be given within 30 days of receipt of the Request by Statistics Canada. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.

Greetings All. The article copied below was written by Alison Hare and was originally published in the Ottawa Branch News of the OGS. I copy it here, with permission, in response to many who have asked for assistance in writing their letters and email supporting public access to Historic Census records. My apologies for the length of this message. Happy Hunting. Gordon A. WATTS [email protected] Canada Census Committee Port Coquitlam, BC Keep up to date on Post 1901 Census information at http://globalgenealogy.com/census Permission to forward this message without notification is granted. ====================== What Should My Letter Say? Letter writing comes more easily to some people than others. Are you unsure what your letter should say? Are you intimidated by some of the issues involved? If your answer to one or both of these questions is yes, you are invited to use this article as your guide. Individualized letters will definitely have the best impact. By writing in your own words you will show yourself to be someone who has thought about the issues at stake and drawn your own conclusions about them. Your letter should not be long, nor do you have to engage in debate about the Privacy Act or the legislation that affects census release. Your letter can be as simple as 1-2-3. 1. Open your letter by stating its purpose. You might simply express a wish for continued access to census records. You might more specifically express support for the recommendations of the Expert Panel on Access to Historical Census records. Another approach would be to criticize the government for failing to implement the panel's recommendations, but if you opt for aggression be careful not to go overboard. Let's be passionate, persuasive and polite. 2. The easiest way to individualize your letter is to refer briefly to your own family history and say what your research has taught you. When did your ancestors come to Canada and where did they settle? Don't list the entire family tree, rather summarize what you have learned. Were some of your ancestors among the earliest pioneers? Were they Loyalists? Did they come here to escape war? Did they immigrate to Canada for greater religious freedom? Did they flee their homes so that they quite simply wouldn't starve to death? Once they arrived, how did they contribute to the community in which they lived? Where might you be today if your ancestors had not ventured from their former homes? Why is it so important that we be allowed to explore our past? 3. Close your letter by reiterating the reason you are writing. Urge the government to take action. Once your letter is finished, to whom should you send it? . First and foremost, address it to The Honourable Brian Tobin, Minister of Industry, House of Commons, Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6. (or email: [email protected]). .Also write to your MP. The only address required for this is his or her name, House of Commons, Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6. Remember, letters to Tobin and your MP do not require any postage. . Also write to Dr. Ivan Fellegi, Chief Statistician, Statistics Canada, 120 Parkdale Ave., Ottawa, ON K1A 0T6 (email: [email protected]). If you want to attempt a letter more ambitious than 1-2-3, additional points you might want to tackle are as follows. Or, if you like, substitute the first or second of these suggestions for step 2 above. . Do you think the research you have done would have been possible without the census? Some of us have relied on the census more heavily than others, depending on where and when our ancestors lived and what other records have survived. If you can effectively demonstrate why the census is so important, this is a very good issue to tackle. . Privacy concerns are one of the biggest impediments to census release. It is important to acknowledge that privacy is important. By all means don't dismiss this as insignificant. But we do need to emphasize that the 92 years that must pass before a census is released offers considerable privacy protection. . The Expert Panel noted that legislation enacted in 1918 might be viewed by some individuals as complicating release of censuses taken from 1921 onwards. That's why it said additional thought might be given as to how release of these particular returns might be carried out. However, it felt the 1906, 1911 and 1916 returns were not affected by this. You might want to press for the government to get the ball rolling by taking action on these for a start. . The Expert Panel urged the government to clarify the census issue before the next census is taken. There is no sign that this will happen. What do you think about this? . For more material on the census issue, including a copy of the Expert Panel report and submissions by key players, visit Statistics Canada's website www.statcan.ca/english/census96/interm.htm. A sample letter follows. Dear : I am writing to express my support for the recommendations of the Expert Panel on Access to Historical Census Records. As a genealogist, I depend heavily on census returns. The Expert Panel acknowledges that these records are important and says they should continue to be made available. The government's deferral of this matter for further study causes me serious alarm. Researching my family history has given me a deep appreciation of Canadian history. Some of my ancestors were among the earliest settlers to the Ottawa Valley and they literally cleared the land to make room for themselves and other immigrants who would follow. One of my ancestors was part of a group chosen for an emigration experiment intended to prove that the poor and destitute of Ireland could succeed if given the right opportunity. Potato famine undoubtedly would have killed him had he remained at home. Instead his descendants have included ministers of the church, professors and a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Some of these descendants eventually headed west, opening the Prairies and extending our frontier. I take a great deal of pride in knowing the role my ancestors played in shaping this country. Without access to census returns, many Canadians will be deprived of this wonderful ability to explore their past. Young Canadians growing up today will still be able to read about history in textbooks. But their family's place in the story of our nation will be a closed book. I acknowledge that Canadians have a right to privacy and I respect those rights. Census returns are currently kept confidential for 92 years after they are taken and I will willingly wait to see them. This 92-year waiting period seems an ideal compromise to the competing interests here. But to insist that census records be kept confidential forever is nothing but extreme. The government's failure to clarify this important issue in advance of the census to be taken this May is especially disappointing. Statistics Canada is worried that its reputation will be damaged by this controversy. How can it possibly improve the situation to take a census in an atmosphere clouded by uncertainty? The case for continued access to census returns is strong. I urge the government to implement the panel's recommendations now. Sincerely, This article originally appeared in the newsletter of the Ottawa Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society. It is reprinted here with permission.

Greetings All. I am happy to announce that after a great deal of work, with a lot more work to come, the Post 1901 Census Project website is well on its way to being bilingual. Many of the pages on the website have been translated into French. This is an effort to generate greater interest and participation in our Census campaign with our francophone friends in Quebec and other French speaking areas of Canada. The opening page in the French language is accessible at http://globalgenealogy.com/census/index_f.htm Please note there is an underscore ("_") between index and f.htm, i.e. index_f.htm . For those pages that have been translated I provide links on each to switch between the French and English versions. My thanks to Lise Drapeau and Jean-Guy Simard who are playing a large part in this effort of translation. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.

Fellow list members: Does anyone know of an Alexander Watts, born in Nelson County, VA, 1 Apr 1778? I know almost nothing about him, except that his mother's maiden name is believed to have been Keith. His descendants, Alexander Watts, II (b.abt 1796, m. Mary Martin) and Alexander Watts, III (b. 13 Nov 1845, m. Martha Stover) ended up in Fayette Co, VA, the part of which became Raleigh Co., VA and then Raleigh Co., WV. Would love to know who Alexander I's parents were, his siblings, where he came from, or where he died. Just any factual tidbit. Thanks. Vicki

February 4, 2001, email: [email protected] THE FIRST WINTER of the new millennium may go down in history as the time Canadians discovered their history. Some 2.3 million of us have tuned in to watch Canada: A People's History, the CBC's 32-hour retelling of how we became a country. That's an incredible audience for any Canadian television show that doesn't feature hockey, Don Cherry's mug or a band of fake castaways - let alone a documentary. Video and DVD copies of the show are selling briskly, and a book based on the sries is topping the best-seller lists. Suddenly, Canadian history is hip. So it's ironic our nationalism-obsessed federal government is considering cutting off access to one of the valuable tools we have to understand the past - the census. Once a decade, Statistics Canada takes stock of who we are and where we live. The numbers are crunched to help governments and businesses understand how the country is growing and changing. Complete census forms and their personal details are released 92 years later. To date, the 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses have been made public. They are a treasure trove, allowing genealogists to trace families, and historians to understand, on a household-by-household level, how our ancestors lived and worked. It's the kind of information that has helped the CBC portray accurately what life was like for ordinary Canadians long ago. Yellowed copies of old census reports have even served as visuals for the series. But legal nitpicking and misguided concern over privacy threaten to make the 1901 census the last of its kind. Ottawa has held back the less-detailed, mid-term 1906 census, and the 1911 census - scheduled for release in 2003 - may never see the light of day. The roadblock is an opinion in some circles that people polled after the 1901 census opened their doors and lives on the understanding the information would remain private. And a promise is a promise. Naturally, the people who recognize the value of census records - historians, genealogists and archivists - are outraged at the thought that this public resource could be withheld or, worse, destroyed by privacy zealots. In 1999, the federal government sent up a panel, made up of eminent academics and a retired judge of the Supreme Court of Canada, to study the issue. The bottom line of its report: continue to release census records after a 92-year interval and amend legislation dating to 1918 that conflicts with this policy. The report found no evidence to suggest anyone was promised their census responses would be deep-sixed forever. The U.S. makes its census records public after just 72 years, and Britain after a century. Newfoundland's 1945 census was made public just four years after it was taken, when it joined Canada. So far, Canada, the U.S. and Britain have made public census records of a staggering 620 million people, most of them long dead. There has never been a single complaint about invasion of privacy. The panel also commissioned an opinion poll that suggests a majority of Canadians - 76 per cent, according to the survey, support the release of their personal census information after about 100 years. This apparently was not the response Ottawa wanted. In December, Industry Minister Brian Tobin, who's responsible for Statistics Canada, said more study and consultation are needed. The census debate will become part of a wider, bureaucrat-driven review of the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act. According to a news release, the federal government wants to ensure any access to a post-1901 census "respects the government's deep commitment to privacy". What this means is Statistics Canada is scared that a decision to open old census records could make people reluctant to complete the 2001 census - even though the panel found no evidence that people balk at filling out a form that will be made public 92 years in the future. When you're tackling the census form later this year, ask yourself this question: Do you really care if, in the year 2093 when you're long gone, some scholar or genealogist gets to take a peek at your responses? It's your chance to ensure future generations understand their history.

Hi Cheryl, I wish I could help you, but I'm just starting to research the Watts family. My gg- grandfather was Elbert Watts who lived in Nebraska. He was married to a Liz Leard. That's about all I know. It's interesting that you live in Vancouver, Wa for I do too. If I find out anything more regarding the Watts family I will let you know.

James E. Watts may be a son of Josiah Watts of Wayne County. (Does the E. stand for Evans???) or the son of James R. Watts of Wayne County. Both these men appear on the 1810 Natchez census, and are the only Watts listed in Wayne County. While these men may be related, I haven't been able to verify it. Each appears to have had a son named James. Thus, there is some confusion between James E. Watts b. 1807 and James A. Watts b. 1809.

I am a WEST family researcher who is tracking our WEST family back to Wayne Co. MS & Clarke Co. MS. I have recently run accross some information which I believe will be a great importance to the above referenced James E. WATTS family. I have located his grave in Wayne Co. Here is what I have from tombstone inscription: Col. James E. Watts died Oct.(?) 26th 1872 aged 65 years (abt 1807). I have seen that there was a James E. Watts in Jasper co. MS and a James WATTS in Clarke Co. MS. I took pictures. Would really like to amke contact with this gentlemen's family. Thanks, Judy WEST in Texas

Hello everyone, New to the list and looking for information on WATTS families in the 1881 Census of England. Does anyone have access to the census and could do a WATTS search? Or do you know if anyone has posted the WATTS results from the UK anywhere on the web? I have seen country-wide census results posted for other family names, and was hoping you all might know of one for WATTS. Specifically, looking for George WATTS and his wife Charlotte. At the time of the census their son Arthur WATTS (my gg-grandfather) would have been 7 years of age. Thank you very much for your help. With kind regards... Cheryl Wing-Fall Vancouver, WA

For years I searched for ANDERSON WATTS without much success. Finally that door opened, providing more highways to be traveled...Parents turned out to be LEVI WATTS 1812 with spouse ELIZABETH 1808.. Haven't had much luck chasing them so I'm backing up to the siblings of the original illusive Anderson. Older sister MARY 1834/35, brother CALVIN LEANDER 1836/37 ( those of you aware of Tanya Lynn's search will recognize him), younger brothers MORGAN 1842/43, OLIVER 1844/45, JOSEPH 1847/48, and DAVID 1849/50. Anyone having access to EARLY GEORGIA MARRIAGES I hear OLIVER is there maybe others. At this point I'm chasing every possible lead. If you are researching any of the above WATTS clan please holler at me and let's compare notes.

Greetings All. I have just returned home from Calgary where I spent the Holiday season with my son and two grand-daughters. While in Calgary I met a number of times with Doug Joudrey and had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Robert Westbury and Lois Sparling, both members of the AFHS and both active in our campaign to obtain public access to Historic Census. We had a good discussion regarding what we could now do, considering that Industry Minister Brian Tobin's response to the Report of the Expert Panel was to call for "further study". It is plain that Mr. Tobin has no intention of following through on the recommendations of the Expert Panel. For my own part, I will immediately be submitting three more Access to Information Requests. The first two will be to Statistics Canada. One will be seeking to obtain any and all documented evidence that proves the existence of the "promise" of never ending confidentiality of Census that StatCan claims was made to the people of Canada by the government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1906. The "explicit guarantee of indefinite confidentiality" and "the legal promise Parliament made to Canadians" quoted by StatCan and the Privacy Commissioner will be included in this request. I do not expect the government to be able to produce this documented evidence. The second request will be for the 1906 census enumeration records for the Kindersley and Fairmont districts of Saskatchewan where I have family interests. This request will be made on the grounds that there is no legal restriction to public access of these records. I expect that this request will likely be refused outright. The third ATI request will be to the office of Sheila Copps seeking a Report on the National Archives and National Library commissioned by Ms. Copps in 1999. It was by John English, historian and professor at the University of Waterloo. Like the Report of the Expert Panel, it is reported to have recommended public access of Historic Census Records. While the first two requests are expected to be refused, or found unable to be answered, the responses to those requests will be valuable in an upcoming event. That event will be an action to the Supreme Court of Canada for immediate release to the National Archives of the Census enumeration records for the 1906 Census of the Western Provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. To that goal Lois Sparling is seeking someone willing to be the plaintiff in such an action. The individual selected would preferably be someone having a demonstrable need for access to the 1906 Census, and should live in a town or city that has a regional office of the Supreme Court of Canada - preferably in Saskatchewan. If you would consider being a part of such an action please contact Lois at [email protected] . We will be seeking also a lawyer living in the same area of the selected plaintiff who would be willing to participate in this effort, preferably on a "pro bono" basis. Bob Westbury will be contacting as many Genealogical and Historical Societies as he can get email or snail mail address for to elicit their co-operation in joint efforts to support projects such as that above. Public access to Historic Census records has been subject of discussion for at least the past 30 years. Enough is enough. It is time now to make it clear to Mr. Tobin that we want access to the 1906 Census NOW, and continuing access to all subsequent Census 92 years after collection as allowed by Regulations attached to the Privacy Act.
