‘Just a jumble of bones.’ How a baby grave discovery has grown to haunt Ireland — The Independent In the 1970s, two boys in Ireland discovered a pile of bones at a former mother and baby home

#Independent #BrianMelley Great to see this scandal reported in the national UK newspapers.but surprised and disappointed to find no mention of #DanielLoftus and the fantastic work that #ProjectInfant has done in this area.

I'm sorry to hear that Daniel. I know how hard you've been working on #ProjectInfant. It is a timely note to myself about links. Super specific links as a shortcut to a full source have been creeping into my online #FamilyHistory entries. I definitely need to get back to full sourcing. #AncestryHour

Government will commission further research on the death registration records of the children who were born in Mother and Baby Homes in the 1920s and 1930s and who subsequently lived in the community or in institutions with a view to establishing their age at death and causes of death.

Nothing like discovering you've been doing a part of the Government's action plan for Mother and Baby Home survivors and have been doing more than what they would've set out to do... 🙃

Even then, they still won't release the children's names [which they have]. 😖

Thank you! I was reading about your #ProjectInfant. Keep up the good work. We had a situation like that in Kentucky (probably more than one), but this one got resolved a while back: childrensmemorialproject.wordpress.com/about/

Hope you get a Xmas break from assignments Daniel! 🎄After my own recent mature student life, I'm so impressed at how much #ProjectInfant research you manage to carry out at the same time as college work 👏

Please do consider becoming a volunteer for #ProjectInfant!

All the work we do is only possible with the help of volunteers, it doesn't matter whether you have plenty of experience or none at all, we all help each other. [And there's no minimum time commitment either...]

Details below! ⬇️

Couldn’t help but think of #projectinfant today as we spotted this poster on the district line tube in London today. @danielloftus.projectinfant.ie

Latest podcast episode, I talk about Project Infant, the work involved along with a new initiative launched today but I've only shared it in this episode and nowhere else.

Listen to wherever you get your podcasts.

#ProjectInfant #Genealogy

Firstly, please don’t take this as a complaint. One thing I had realised when announcing #ProjectInfant was the sheer amount of people who shared and liked the announcement tweet were those who have an interest in genealogy. So I’ve definitely done it for one audience…
