You will notice that Chapman Codes have been added to the county forum titles. Chapman Codes were devised by Colin Chapman and relate to pre 1974 UK counties.

Many researchers use place codes such as: Harrow MDX and Exeter DVN etc to clearly identify places. This is particularly useful where there is more than one place with the same name eg Watford HRT (Hertfordshire) and Watford NTH (Northamptonshire)

You may also find them useful to use when identifying a place in a thread title.
