You guys, it's Giving Tuesday. Everyone's favorite fake holiday.
But even though we're a non-profit, we have NOT hit you up with a flood of donation requests.
And that's cause later tonight we're giving *YOU* all a present for Giving Tuesday!
1,762,288 births!
STAY TUNED!
The Provincial Administrative Court in Krakow, Poland, ruled in favor of a genealogist attempting to get information for a client. The court ruled that proof of direct relationship to obtain records from archives isn't necessary. Let this be a sign of more openness for records.
UPDATE, five weeks later:
The hard drive finally showed up today!
It's a state's early 20th century birth index!
It's 28 years of data!
It includes locations!
It has NEVER been online before!
It's 493 GB! 😳
And very soon, it's all gonna be FREE. 🥰
UPDATE, four months later:
We should be getting several hard drives full of lovely new digital scans of these microfilms sent to us in the next few days.
It's ~30 years of a state birth index (early 20th century) that has never been online before. 😁
