And many of these entries are a clues pointing you to additional documentation. While much of the information in the household examination records is straightforward and easy to understand, some entries can be confusing. Abbreviations are common, language can be difficult to understand, and without knowing what you are looking at you can miss important clues in your research.This book aims to provide researchers with additional background information in order to get the most out of your research. While many researchers focus only on the main demographic information that is standard, clues in the household examination records can be used to frame a solution to many of your most difficult brick-wall problems.
