Phenomenal work from Daniel. These women & Children are no longer the #ForgottenDead thanks to Project Infantβs tireless voluntary work. #MayWeNeverForget
What an inspirational man! I am always in awe of survivors of #abuse who speak out to try to help other survivors. His words speak for every #CSA survivor. Please listen & support his Mountains for Changeβ fundraiser EilΓs Breathnach
Well done to Daniel Loftus is working on #ProjectInfant. π³π recording names of #Protestant #MotherAndBabyHome victims. Another to add to the list, an eighteen month old baby David Morgan who died following leaving the home as a healthy baby boy. #RIP little David
![This is David Morgan's death cert, I surmise we've already found the remaining Bessborough names but if they're like this where there is no mention of an institution apart from another source [which won't always be the case] like the article, it'll be difficult to find them. π](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GrTockgW4AARIq9.png "Daniel Loftus is working on #ProjectInfant. π³π (@danielmloftus) on Twitter photo This is David Morgan's death cert, I surmise we've already found the remaining Bessborough names but if they're like this where there is no mention of an institution apart from another source [which won't always be the case] like the article, it'll be difficult to find them. π")
You guys...? We did it. π₯° We won the FULL NEW YORK STATE DEATH INDEX FOR 1880-2017! We beat the largest government agency in the state of New York (NYSDOH), in the highest court of the state, through a Freedom of Information Law (#FOIL) suit. π reclaimtherecords.org/records-requesβ¦
I try to visualise the work that my volunteers & I do at Project Infant, but sometimes I need it in front of me. These are the 2,452 names [mothers & children] we've found, continuing to work to the total: 3,658. It really hammers it home seeing it all there in black & white.
