The Government of the People: Leveraging Freedom of Information Laws to Procure Novel Records

This lecture presented by Alec Ferretti will explain Freedom of Information Laws, and how genealogists can use them to obtain often inaccessible record sets and to learn about how systems of records are organized. A variety of jurisdictions and case studies will be discussed.
Alec Ferretti is a New York City-based professional genealogist who has worked for the Wells Fargo Family & Business History Center, researching family histories for high-net-worth clients. Alec specializes in the genealogy of 20th-century immigrants to the United States. He is a regular lecturer at genealogical societies and conferences. He serves as the President of the New York Genealogy & Technology Group, serves actively on the Board of Directors of the Association of Professional Genealogists, and on the Board of Reclaim the Records, a nonprofit dedicated to wrangling public records from obstinate government agencies.
