records-access-alerts ...An interesting decision

A child born in the Spring of 2019 was not registered, which is required under the Birth and Death Registration Act of 1953 whose purpose is to create a public record relating to all births and deaths in England and Wales. It requires that every birth of every child born in England and Wales to be registered by the registrar of births and deaths. The law also stipulates who are qualified to give the birth information, which includes both mothers and fathers as well as any person having charge of the child. The father is opposed to registration, the mother is not prepared to register the child but is not opposed to someone else registering on her behalf.

The social services department has the responsibility for the baby's welfare and it is that organization which asked the high court to intervene once the man and his partner (which are not identified for legal reasons) failed to register the birth. The father and his partner are being assessed for parenting skills, before the child's long-term future are made. The father's behavior before a family court judge resulted in a prison sentence for him and his partner.

The judge ruled it was in the best interest for the child to be have his birth registered in order for him to be recognized as a citizen and entitled to benefits of citizenship.

History

The father's "unique" belief is that when a child is registered it "becomes an asset to the country" and therefore his son will become controlled by a State which he perceives to be authoritarian and capricious. The father regarded registering a birth as the equivalent of making an entry on to a ship’s manifest.

To read the decision go to: https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Fam/2019/1572.pdf

To read an article on this unusual case about birth certificates see:

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/jun/23/man-refused-to-register-sons-birth-high-court

Delaware HB 114 was amended from extending embargo periods for birth, marriage and death records to increasing the embargo period for marriage records only- and then only for ten years. Under the new law, marriage records are now embargoed for 50 years. Additionally, the law requires an analysis of any further embargo enlargements as well as the granting of limited disclosure. The bill was signed by the governor on June 26^th. The more palatable bill is due to the work of the genealogical community and Senator Stephanie Hansen who is her family genealogist. When the bill was passed out of its original house of origin, the House, it had embargo periods for birth records from 72 years to 80 years for date of birth and from 40 years to 50 years for death and marriage.

Senator Hansen is facilitating a meeting of interested parties, including the genealogical community, the county clerks of the peace and the office of vital records to discuss the issue of what information should be able, when, how, and by whom.

To read the new law see: http://legis.delaware.gov/BillDetail?legislationId=47308 and click on final/engrossed bill text or see attached.

* (US) National Archives Digitizes More than 500 Volumes of US Navy Muster Rolls from 19th Century

The US National Archives has partnered with the Joint Institute for the study of Atmospheric and Ocean (JISAO), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric administration (NOAA) and the University of Washington to digitize more than 500 volumes of US Navy muster rolls from the 19^th century. These are now available to the public through the National Archives Catalog.

The muster rolls are the official lists of enlisted sailors from 1861 to 1879. The muster roll data provide not only the names, birthplaces, ages, discharges, and physical description of enlisted seamen but also information on contraband sailors.

If you are looking for ships’ muster rolls for later years you can help: The National Archives will digitize thousands of Navy logbooks containing new-to-science ocean and weather data as well as the names of ship’s officers and other details of daily shipboard life. After the digitization of the logbooks is complete, the Archives and NOAA will call upon citizen archivists, genealogical researchers, and climate scientists to help transcribe information from the logbooks and muster rolls into digital formats usable by computers. Citizen archivists can now transcribe this muster roll data from the catalog.

* (Germany) StaatsArchiv Destruction of Death Certificates from 1876-1953 Topic of Archiv Journal

In 2018, it became known that the StaatsArchiv Hamburg did on the unconscionable destruction of over one million death records from 1876-1953. This was taken very seriously and IAJGS amongst others wrote to various Hamburg officials. IAJGS received a response from Dr. Carsten Brosda, Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg Minister of Culture and Media. In the letter he acknowledges that the State Archives reviewed their actions and concluded their decision to appraise the series was "flawed". "Both the Ministry for Culture and Media and the State Archives were going to hold discussions with historians and researchers on the matter.

The August 1 edition of the Archiv Journal is devoted to this archival records tragedy-where they do call it an error. This includes the discussion with the archivists and researchers.

* (Australia) National Archives of Australia Racing to Digitize Magnetic Tape Collections

The National Archives of Australia (NAA) are racing to digitize their magnetic tape collections before 2025 when it will become impossible to find working tape playback machines. This is not a problem unique to the Australian archives. Tapes can only be read by format-specific machines, unlike film. The heads on the machine readers have a finite number of hours before it needs replacement, During the latter half of the 20^thcentury many archives created magnetic tape files, using Betamax versions. In 2016, Sony announced they would stop making Betamax tapes. The machine readers used by the NAA are obsolete and have not been manufactured for years.

The National Archives of Australia has 13,000 hours of audio and video tape that need to be rescued. Tapes contain Australian government agencies actions which the Archives needs to retain to fulfill its mission of preserving the history of the Australian government which affect the rights and entitlements of Australians. NAA is trying to find tape machines where ever they can find them.

Stock photo from Pixabay

For some time now, many of you have been aware that 'honouring the dead' seems something that has been pushed aside .. all for what. Like thousands of others, I am utterly disgusted that, in this vast land of ours, headstones are being removed, destroyed or discarded... supposedly as a lack of space makes this imperative.

The fact that families have often scrimped and saved, some for many years, to give their loved ones a final resting place, peaceful and memorialised by a headstone that honours their life, seems to matter not one iota. There is a lot I could say, but most of it you have heard before... instead, let me share the heartbreak of one friend, who has been personally affected..

Carolyn's mother......

Her father.......

It is only after a battle and many many hours of protesting, begging, pleading, that their combined grave is safe...

Not so the following...there are too many family to be able to afford the cost of renewal... remembering that when these gravesites were

purchased, there was no thought of having to pay again...

The gravestones below are all in the removal list...

What can you do?

You can share this post, you can contact your political representatives, your local talkback radio, your local newspapers, you can talk to everyone you know... spread the word...ask others to protest..

There are a number of Saving Graves groups on Facebook, including this one...

Saving Family Headstones at Karrakatta

Don't think that it won't happen to your state, or your local cemetery...greed and lack of respect is spreading. We need to let our voices be heard.

Is anybody listening?
