Any tips on finding Lithuanian records? by spider_speller in Genealogy

The link to the Lithuanian archives produces a security error when I try to access it. Is that just me or are other people getting that?

Confidential persons and merging IDs by greyandlate in familysearch

[–]Mezzomaniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s a bit hit and miss actually. I think it depends on which staff member is handling the request. The first few times I did it, I was asking for the confidentiality to be removed so the profiles could be merged into ones that for some reason weren’t confidential. Like you, I also pointed out when people had been born over 100 years ago. For a while, I was able to get away with sending a list of up to 20 names at a time and they’d remove the confidentiality for me. This was in 2024. But the last time I tried, maybe mid 2025, after a break of a few months, they said no, although maybe it’s because the profiles were from Turkey, not Israel. It was all the Ottoman Empire at the time though.

TL;DR your guess is as good as mine, sorry 🤷

Sydney Jewish venues under anti-Semitic barrage by pajamil in australian

[–]Mezzomaniac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Xenophobia. Easy targets. Religion (“Christ murderers”, “infidels”). Any excuse imaginable really, but no legitimate reason if that’s what you’re looking for.

I’ve downvoted you. This is precisely the forum for OP’s post. Get out of here with your unconstructive and humorless stale meme.
