 German Holocaust archive puts over 13 million documents online | The Times of Israel

 Records-access-alert :The International Tracing Service (ITS) changed its name to Arolsen Archives- International Center on Nazi Persecution. They have also published a new online archive in partnership with Yad Vashem with documents from concentration camps, former prisoner cards and death notices. The 13 million documents represent over 2.2 million people persecuted by the Nazi Regime. This is the first of several large collections to go online sometime in the future.  To read more about this see: https://arolsen-archives.org/en/news/more-than-13-million-documents/

While many documents have been indexed so that searching by placing the name into the website, this is not yet true for all documents, but Arolsen believed it important to make the documents available during this initial phase. They are working to improve the searchability of the database.
Arolsen has information on 17.5 million people and belongs to UNESCO's Memory of the World.

 REMINDER
Records of Australia’s Second World War servicemen and women are soon to be freely available to all. Around 80 per cent of our 1,062,000 WWII service records are yet to be digitised through the National Archives of Australia.
Next year marks the 75th Anniversary of the end of WWII and we want to ensure Australians can remember and understand the service and sacrifice of those who came before us. They will provide a comprehensive source of information for students, journalists, authors, academics, and families interested in knowing about the service of our Defence Forces.
Some are already 'opened'  by those of us who have paid to have them released. Most WW1 records are freely available now, except for a small number that remain closed for security or other reasons.

 (Canada) Ontario Vital Statistics Announces 1918 Birth Registrations and Indices Will be Transferred in 2023
Ministry of Government and Consumer Services

Due to changes in regulations, 1918 and newer birth registrations and indexes will be retained by the Office of the Registrar General for 104 years after the year of registration. The 1918 birth registrations and indexes will be transferred to the Archives of Ontario in 2023.

The 1938 marriage registrations and 1948 death registrations are with the Archives, and currently closed for digitization.  If you require a copy for legal or humanitarian purposes, please contact us.

For more information see: http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/en/tracing/the_records.aspx

 (Russia) World War II Data Base Updated With Adding 5 Million Records
The Memorial databank is a website of information about those who died defending Russia during the Great Patriotic War and post-war period.  It  was founded by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in 2007. The website contains up to 17 million digital copies of documents and 20 million personal record of the Red Army losses in the Great Patriotic War. Access to the records is free and unlimited. Currently, there are the names of one million war prisoners although German records indicate there were over 5 million Soviet citizens in captivity. There are over 5 million records for soldiers who died, went missing or became prisoners of war.  The website does not require registration. 

Information includes: full name, birthdate, or birth year, place of birth, date and place of recruitment, last place of service, military rank and reason service ended. Records may be saved as .jpg or pdf's.  See:
https://obd-memorial.ru/html/about.htm

The database is in Russian and for those of us who are not conversant in Russian you will need to use a translation service such as google translate  https://translate.google.com/

For suggestions on how to use the database without knowing Russian see: https://tinyurl.com/y4qrr2f4

The article in Lost Russian Family suggests after doing the above, to search for relatives and ancestors in the website: Memory of the People:  https://pamyat-naroda.ru/heroes/?adv_search=y which is in Russian and English.

The Russian Military Archives provides a guide to this database in English, See:

This website also has more free databases. See: https://lostrussianfamily.wordpress.com/free-databases/


 (New Zealand) Ten Percent of Population Did Not Complete Census-May be Prosecuted
Statistics  New Zealand may prosecute the approximately 10 percent of Kiwis who did not complete the recent census. About 90 percent of the population completed the March 2018 down from 94.5 percent from 2013. This is the lowest participation rate in  50 years. They had anticipated a 80 percent online response and received 82 percent online response.

There is even a chance the country will hold another census due to the lower participation rate. There is a chance that Statistics New Zealand will backfill the information from previous censuses and information from the Department of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, the Department of Labor, the Ministry of Education and Inland Revenue.   The 2018 census was the first digital or online census being the first choice and the traditional paper census being the second best choice.

The Statistics Act 1975 requires everyone in New Zealand on census day to take part. 
People who choose not to fill out their census forms can be fined between $50 and $500. 

In 2013, Stats NZ announced about 100 people were being prosecuted for not completing their census forms. 

In 2006, the Government department prosecuted 72 people for not completing the census, resulting in 41 convictions.
