Guild of One-Name Studies (GOONS)

I certainly learned a lot during my membership of the Guild in 2002.

I joined at a Family History Fair

Please tell your friends about Linkpendium!

Linkpendium is being developed by Karen Isaacson and Brian Leverich, founders of the extremely popular RootsWeb genealogical community site. At the time of its merger with Ancestry in June 2000, RootsWeb had about 600,000 registered users, was serving about 100,000,000 Web page views monthly, and was delivering about 160,000,000 pieces of email monthly to the subscribers of its 18,000 mailing lists. The company had more than 40 employees and operated its own 7,000 square foot network operations center in Bakersfield, CA.

Both Karen and Brian have been active on the ARPAnet / Internet for more than twenty years. They live surrounded by the Los Padres National Forest in a mountain cabin 60 miles north and 5,000 vertical feet above Los Angeles. The cabin is equipped with indifferently reliable indoor plumbing, two of the world's friendliest German Shepherd Dogs, an incontinent and generally annoying orange fluffy cat, and a T1 data connection direct to the Internet backbone.

Census of Canada, 1911 - ArchiviaNet - Library and Archives Canada

Census of Canada, 1911 - ArchiviaNet - Library and Archives Canada: "The Census of Canada 1911 covered the nine provinces (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island) and two territories (the Yukon and the Northwest Territories) that were then part of Confederation.
The creation of the microfilms was authorized in 1955 with the paper records destroyed afterwards. The microfilming of these records was not of consistent quality and therefore not all images are decipherable. Unfortunately, the destruction of the paper records means that there is no recourse when a record is unreadable.
This database of 1911 census data allows researchers to search by geographic location only. "

this would be a tough project to search

any sightings of LAPHAM welcome
