Data Transfer Project
The data transfer project (DTP) was formed in 2017 crating an open-space, service- to service data portability platform so that all individuals across the web could move their data easily between online service provider whenever they wanted. Typically tech companies compete against each other but now the four largest tech companies are joining forces to allow users to download and transfer data more easily. The four large tech companies are: Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Twitter. In theory, this means a person could transfer their Instagram photos to Flickr, or Google Photos, without having to mass-download and upload their library.
The DTP is still in development and not available to the wider public. The announcement from the four tech companies follows the General Data Protection Regulation in the European Union which requires that all companies offer some kind of data download tool for users. The DTP is meant for everyone not just the EU residents.
Reclaim the Records (RtR) wins the New Jersey Death Index 1904-2017*. By using the New Jersey's Open Public Records Act (OPRA) they forced the New Jersey Department of Health to make a copy of their state death index available to RtR and to the public! Only one year ago they declined a genealogist who requested the same database. This time RtR drafted an OPRA request over the name of a known NJ Attorney and they didn't even have to sue or go to court this time.
The records they were able to get are indexes—not actual death records—of the New Jersey death index for :
About half of 1920-1924,
All of 1925-1929, 1949-2017.
Files prior to 2001 are in pdf format each a scanned image of typeset pages and dot-matrix printouts. The files for 2001-2017 are in two spreadsheets (.csv) files exported from the state's own databases and searchable immediately.
The searchable database has over 1.2 million records for 2001-2017 and links to over 500,000 digital images from the not-yet transcribed 1901-2000 data.
The following years of the New Jersey Death index are still missing: 1904-1919 ,half of 1920-1924 and 1930-1948.
Go to: https://www.newjerseydeathindex.com/ to start your search and put in name-surname and given, and year of birth and year of death and age at death. RtR is trying to retrieve some of the missing records with the help of staff at the New Jersey State archives in Trenton. They are being very helpful. For years that are missing RtR will order microfilms from the archives and then scan and put the data online. This will not happen for a while. But the 1930-1948 records will still be missing any index. RtR is still trying to see if they force the New Jersey Department of Health to recreate the missing years from their index.
