@XianyangCB @Catcher4242 It reminds me a little, oddly, of Italy, where a death certificate is valid for only six months before it has to be renewed. At each renewal another tax-stamp is required so that fiscal obligations pursue one beyond the grave.
This is the first time I've actually seen one of these - a passport for the dead. During the late warring states/Han dynasty people would be buried with official ID to get them into the underworld. (Translation in comments, HT @Catcher4242)
Sending love to our friends at @internetarchive which lately has been clobbered by DDOS attacks and now a hack. They're the free website where we host a lot of our images and data sets, and as a result, some of our hard-won records aren't accessible at the moment. Stay strong. ❤️🩹
Hello #AncestryHour! Tomorrow morning I go before a judge and panel to try and argue my case for access to original wills under Freedom of Information. Hopefully this will give a definitive answer to how we access original wills when only provided with an office copy. 1/2
I thought @ReclaimTheRecs might enjoy the tangent this lawyer goes on about public records and clerks who say the truth out loud sometimes.
