Hi,
Not sure if anyone has posted this, but Ancestry.ca has free access to Canadian and Immigration records this weekend (Oct 6-9).  Enjoy :) :)

I have tried to access bmd records for a number of people with no luck. No problem with census, voting records, school records etc.

Thanks Sandra and DB for the lovely wishes :) :) :). 

Ed - The Ancestry.ca home page says "From Oct 6-9 get Free Access* to all Canadian and Immigration records".   I guess they probably should have said "most" or "some" instead of "all".  Oh well....I am glad you have been able to access quite a few types of records for free.  I expect there will be some free records for Remembrance Day on Nov 11, and perhaps some free US records for American Thanksgiving later on in November.   :).
