Petition Census Records Availability

More details

I would like my government to reduced the number of years it takes to obtain census records from 100 till at least 70, ideally 50 and make these publicly available.

100 years is ineffective for tracing family tree members and also for revuiewing the bona vacantia (the list opf people who died without a will)
