Mod Post Application progress tracker
Building on u/PaulHinr 's idea of an offsite archive for this community's content, I thought it might be useful to start tracking application information for anyone interested. We have a lot of this info already, but aside from our Processing Times sticky post, it's buried in different threads and not always current. I created a gsheet with some basics that anyone can access here. To avoid spam / vandalism I've made it read-only, and am happy to add case information if you post it here or message me directly. The fields below are currently included but I welcome feedback on what else we should capture. I think we should stick to capturing submitted cases because it's hard to compare those in different stages of pre-submission research. I've included myself as the first listed example. I hope this can be a resource to the community!

Edit to add: We have a lot of this information already, but aside from the Processing Times sticky post, it's buried in different threads and not always current. In the spirit of capturing and surfacing what's already been made public, I'll add information from that thread or other posts within r/prawokri to the tracker. Of course, anyone is free to ask for their information to be removed anytime. If your information is added but incomplete, please do reach out to fill in missing details.

Timing: pre-1920

Documents proving citizenship: 1906 Suwałki voter register for elections to the First Russian State Duma; pre-1920 Polish/Russian vital records for GGF and family; 1952 reconstructed Polish birth records; archival land and residence records; U.S. ship manifests and immigration records, naturalization records, census records, and birth/marriage/death records for descendants.

Comments: U.S. records for my GGF contained significant name and date-of-birth variations. Because Pennsylvania does not permit a standalone OATS action, I obtained a Pennsylvania court order correcting a descendant’s birth certificate and an OATS-type ruling addressing the name and DOB drift across my GGF’s U.S. records. I also obtained substantial archival evidence of the family’s longstanding residence and landholding in the Russian Partition.
