If I got the " in processing" designation does that mean I won't get flagged later? Probably won't get flagged later? I've been doing a restrained happy dance about every 3 days and then wonder if "in progress" really means anything. Am I "probably" doing OK? I'm really happy but I've lived in this world a long time and I know nothing is for certain but death and taxes.
This is a more balanced article about overwhelming the archives. This is PEI so YMMV but it was nice to read something that didn't vilify us for dreaming. https://www.saltwire.com/prince-edward-island/pei-archives-sees-surge-in-genealogy-requests-linked-to-citizenship-changes
I asked for paper certificate. I'm in no way needing to buy the frame yet but I can start shopping. How big is it? And the personal information is on the back?
I applied in March, before the big blow up. The acceptable documents then are not the same as what's required now. What happens to me? They request more? There is no more. I've been doing genealogy for my Canadian branch for 20 years. I've asked/written to any/every source I could think of. Nova Scotia Methodist church was the most helpful and even looked for more than I asked for. Unfortunately, there is no more. My great grandfather was b. 1804 in PEI. PEI doesn't have records. He married twice in Nova Scotia to women who had been born there. There just isn't anything. Who do I ask in order to get a letter?
