Zoom Talk: The Hidden Secrets of the 1939 Register with Linda Hammond

The 1939 Register is often compared to an extra census for England and Wales, but it's much more.

Although assembled in 1939, the Government continuously updated it with changes in names, deaths, and other key details until about 1990. Some updates are visible, while others are hidden in annotations and codes next to entries. This presentation will show how to decode these markings, offering deeper insights.

Learn how to search the register and uncover its hidden secrets to enhance your family history research.

Linda Hammond is a professional genealogist who has been active in genealogy for over 35 years as both a researcher and a lecturer.  She is a tutor at the University of Strathclyde and, in addition to her teaching role, Linda frequently speaks at conferences and family history fairs, where she shares her knowledge and expertise.
