blackbird Posted May 25, 2022 Report Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) 12 hours ago, Aristides said: A: You posted this. Which is it? B: Parish records are accessible by the public. I have a nephew that is big into family genealogy and he has got all kinds of info from parish records. You may be talking about birth, death, marriage, baptism records of church members in a particular parish which is a different thing than historical records of staff and students in residential schools that were shut down long ago. Parish records from a particular church are not the same kind of records as residential school records. If some records are public that is a decision of that Church. If some other records are not available to the public, the organization has that right too. There may be names of individuals who worked in the residential school system at one time or another who did nothing wrong and they may not wish to have their names in the public where they can be falsely accused by red power activists who already accuse everyone in general of genocide or atrocities. Maybe they do not wish to have their houses burned down by radicals or mentally-challenged people. On top of that people who worked at one or another in the residential schools may have living relatives who do wish to have their names put out there for reasons of security. There are many radicals out there who might take revenge or retaliate against innocent citizens as they have already done in burning down many churches. So there is no general right to confidential records that might exist. Edited May 25, 2022 by blackbird Quote
Aristides Posted May 25, 2022 Report Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) These schools were run by churches, they were responsible for keeping records. This isn’t about the people who worked there, it is about the dignity of those who died there, recognition that they actually existed. . Apparently you don’t feel they are entitled to any. Protect the churches at any cost. Edited May 25, 2022 by Aristides 1 Quote
