The 1939 National Register has been compared to an additional census for England and Wales. However, it is so much more than this. The register may have been assembled in 1939, but the Government constantly updated the 1939 National Register over time to take account of changes of name, deaths or other important information.
Some changes are plain to see, but others are hidden within the annotations and codes written next to entries. In this presentation we will see how to decode these scribbles which are scattered throughout the pages of the register and gain a greater insight into their meanings. Learn how to search the register and learn all its hidden secrets to further your family history research.
