I'm honoured to share that Project Infant has recorded the deaths of 231 [2] women and [229] children who died between 1920 and 1964 in the Protestant-run Bethany Home to our website. You can view the names here: projectinfant.ie/bethany
Phenomenal work from Daniel. These women & Children are no longer the #ForgottenDead thanks to Project Infantโs 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 Changeโ fundraiser Eilรญs Breathnach

You guys...? We did it. ๐ฅฐ 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. ๐ reclaimtherecords.org/records-requesโฆ
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.
