[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] RE: Ger-Poland-Volhynia digest, Vol 1 #411 - 3 msgs

[Keith G. Trott]

The Federal Government released the 1906 General Census for Western Canada
in February of this year.  The web site is
http://www.archives.ca/02/020153_e.html.  It contains a searchable database
but you need to know the electoral district (ie Emerson, Manitoba is in the
Provencher district).  This web site will show you the original records
which you can download without fees.

As with any transcription, there are going to be errors, something we 
certainly know from our own St. Pete extractions.

I don't know why you have had a problem with getting copies of 
originals.  This goes back a few years now but I have always received 
copies of originals, usually with the cause of death blacked out (if a 
death record) with a felt pen, and stamped "For Genealogical Purposes".

As for the lack of father's name, the wording seems to imply, though not 
clearly, that this is only missing from the online database, not 
necessarily from the original record.

there of value until I went back and read the message thoroughly.

LAUNCH OF THE CANADIAN GENEALOGY CENTRE WEB SITE March 26, 2003 (Ottawa) -

The Library and Archives of Canada is pleased to announce the official 
launch of the Canadian Genealogy Centre Web site. This unique virtual centre
will be the primary online site for access to genealogical 
resources in Canada. Over the years, Canadians have shown a growing 
interest in finding out more about their family histories, stories and 
roots.  In fact, genealogy and family history research are the fastest 
growing hobbies in North America.

The Canadian Genealogy Centre Web site is an online centre that will 
provide access to all genealogical resources in Canada. It will offer
genealogical content, services, advice, and tools, and provide 
Canadians with the opportunity to work on joint projects online in both
official languages.

"The Canadian Genealogy Centre Web site will allow history to be written in 
the first person-our history, our family, our community-by making available
to Canadians the vast network of genealogical information 
that exists across the country and around the world."

Visit the Canadian Genealogy Centre Web site at: www.genealogy.gc.ca

                 Web site launch:
                 Date:  Saturday, March 29, 2003

This unique Centre was made possible in part through the Canadian Culture 
Online Program of the Department of Canadian Heritage.
