I'm all for 1911 census being released earlier. The concerns I keep reading mainly relate to the privacy issues.
For the life of me I cannot find any information online for people living around that time in 1911. After the 1901 census I'm stumped.
Yet I am amazed that today in '2008' I can find hugh amounts of information relating to living people online.
Immigration records on Australian National Archives has my parents and siblings birth dates and where they were born (mum & sisters living) even photo's.
You can find anyone on the Electoral Roll, Telephone Directory. Just google anyone and you can guaranty their email address will appear. You can even find out in some cases where people work. Even current death/funeral indexes online give out enough information to know where they were living prior to death. I use the Ryerson Index (Australia) which has current deaths.
I'm more concerned with 2008 that people can get anyone's personal details, seems to be a lot online. You can understand now how easy it is for people to steal someone's identification.
Please release the 1911 census today. I'm starting to run out of information.
I may have to start researching living people as there is more information to collect.
Cheers
Rupert
