The Tree Sleuths is based in Swaffham Prior in Cambridgeshire, and has a special interest in the history of the village.
This project analysed the 1939 Register for Swaffham Prior, linking it to the existing Parish Council Cemetery Records and to those buildings in the village that still exist from that time.
What was the 1939 Register? At the outbreak of WWII England and Wales needed a complete list of everybody who lived here, so that rationing could be set up, and to help with other administration. This was later used to set up the NHS in 1948.
