Greetings All.
The Editorial pages of today's Globe and Mail (14 April 2006) includes an
excellent article written by Professor Bill Waiser. The headline is "Say
'yes' for history's sake". The sub-headline states "Census information
provides a snapshot of our past and must be publicly available, says
historian Bill Waiser"
Bill Waiser is one of those who were in the forefront of our campaign to
regain public access to our Historic Census records. Using the 1906 Census
records released because of

Thanks, Rosemarie.
I have considerable information on the Windle family. Michael Windle died in Saint John.
What I am trying to find out about the Windle family:
1. Thomas Windle who died in St Louis in 1902 apparently was beamed up by Scottie until that date. I can't find him in any census. The only explanation is that he was in the states and his name mis-spelled. It could be that he fought in the civil war.
2. Hugh Windle was married to Annie unknown who died between 1901 and 1911. I

Over the past few weeks I have been made aware of a group who have been
actively campaigning to have people hinder, or cripple the upcoming Canadian
Census. I have been reluctant to make mention of them at all, hoping they
would just 'go away', and I will not mention who they are because I do not
wish to give any indication I believe them to be credible.
Let it suffice to say that it would appear they are well funded, and well
organized. In my opinion however, they are misguided and mi
Dear List,
James R. McLean, of either the Miramichi area or of Kent County, married in 1861 in Richibucto to my relative, Annie C. MacPherson from P.E.I. They had three children before separating, at which time Annie and the children went back to P.E.I. and then moved to Massachusetts about 1872-1875. At that time she had only two children with her, Hugh M. and Marion. The family were Presbyterian, but I have no baptisms for any of the children.
Who was the third child and what became of him or her? W
