Lara Diamond has been blogging about how she discovered and then reclaimed incredible old records about her great-great-grandmother, a poor peasant who took her fight to the very top of the Russian Empire and their Supreme Court, trying to save her sons:
You know that dream #genealogy doc, which lays out where each family member is, who's mad at whom, who got remarried but is hiding it? I found one from 1850s, as my 5th g g’ma continues her quest to keep her sons out of the army. #ancestry #familyhistory

When records were in government land
Let our records gooooo
Withheld from view and wrongly banned
Let our records gooooo
Go down, lawyers
Way down in FOIA land
Tell officials
To let our records gooooo
(Happy Passover from your friends at Reclaim The Records.)

An important update from @ReclaimTheRecs about their lawsuit opening up New York City vital records. There’s a lot to be optimistic about for access to these records in the next years, but still some work to be done. https://twitter.com/ReclaimTheRecs/status/1373516380792877056
