    Peter Calvert, the chap who runs Lost Cousins, has long agitated for the same thing, so it might be worth your while contact him to see if he will enlist his members support.

    Thanks I am already in contact with Peter Cousins and a number of other people in the family history world including Ian Hartas of UKBMD and a number of others.

    Thought I'd missed the boat when I saw the closing date was 25 March at 9:15, then saw it was 2015

    It has been confirmed today that the National Registration 1939 is finally going to be available online in about two years time.
    https://e.whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine...nOCrxd7P5f6/wv

    I am very pleased at this news as I won a victory in getting access to the 1939 National Registration a few years after my success with the 1911 census.

    Perhaps this news will re-assure those who doubt whether the campaign to open historic registers will succeed.

    But we need your help.

    Please sign the petition at
    https://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/62779

    More importantly please email or write to your MP asking for their support for the Campaign to Open Historic Registers
