Subject: Post 1901 Census -- NEW petitions in both official languages
Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2004 23:04:37 -0700


Greetings All.

Thanks to the translation skills of Gilbert Provost -- who translated
our NEW petitions, and Lise Drapeau -- who did some other translation
for me, we now have our NEW petitions online in both official languages.

Tonight the French language petitions were added to the Post 1901 Census
Project website, at the URL following my signature.

The English language petitions have been modified slightly. The wording
has not changed but a smaller type font was used to permit a greater
number of signature lines to be included on the pages.

There are petitions to the House of Commons and to the Senate for
residents of Canada to sign, and a Non-Resident petition for those
living outside of Canada to show support for our goal of regaining
public access to ALL Historic Census Record of Canada, 92 years after
collection. All petitions are now available in both French and English
languages.

We ask that concerned individuals, Family History Societies, and
Historians -- anyone wanting to regain public access to Canada's
Historic Census Records, to download and circulate these petitions. Ask
any genealogical or historical organization you belong to to ensure that
their membership is aware of the Census issue and our NEW petitions.
Ask them to include copies of petitions with their newsletters.

Thank you for your support. With your help we will achieve our goal.

Happy Hunting.
