This page contains the written submission of Frank Horgan re: public access to 1906 and 1911 Census Record made to Environics Research Group. From: Frank Horgan To: censusconsultations@environics.ca Sent: January 18, 2002 11:54 AM Subject: Release of 1911 Census data Gentlemen/Ladies: As a senior citizen, professional engineer, retired 12 years ago after 42 years of municipal sevice in the City of Toronto, with a large family of 8 children and 23 grandchildren, I perhaps have more than the usual interest in family history. My wife is also from a large family, the Keoghs, which has had a family reunion each of the last 5 year intervals since 1979, known as the "KEOGH 500', descendants of her grandfather. The 1999 reunion in Barrie drew 689 family members. I have had an interest in genealogy ever since one of our sons was assigned a project by his Gr. 8 teacher to search his family roots, as a Centennial Year effort. Access to Census data for N.B. was extremely valuable for 1871, 1881, 1891, and 1901 - the 1861 records for Saint John having been lost in the Great Fire there. That said, I wish to convey my support for the effort being made to obtain release of the 1911 Census data in the usual 92 year period following its compilation. I feel that there is very little invasion of anyone's privacy, since most genealogists are looking only for information on their own or related families, not those of others. Yours sincerely, Frank J. Horgan, P. Eng. |
