New additions to the 1939 Register
Thanks to the work of the 1939 Register team, we've been able to successfully match and open over 60,000 more records that were previously closed, and they're all available to explore right now. If you have tried unsuccessfully to find a family member in the Register who died after 1991, it may be worth trying another search. (NB: this is for England and Wales only)

Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Warnings Out 1722-1769
Was your ancestors driven out of town? "Warning out" was a method used in New England to pressure newcomers to settle in a different town or area. A notice or warrant would be issued by a town's Board of Selectmen and served by a local constable. However, the issuing of such a notice did not necessarily mean that the recipient(s) would be forcibly removed from the town.
