The Poor Law

The Society's project is to index the Settlement, Removal Orders and Examination records held for Hertfordshire in a manner that will enable researchers to quickly check whether records exist for any specific name or names being researched. The names are recorded as spelt so researchers must be aware of possible variations in spelling. This is an ongoing project in partnership with the Herts. County Council's Hertfordshire Archives & Local Studies (HALS). The Society intends to publish the indexes in booklet form. The originals reside at HALS. The document reference in the index is the means by which a copy of the original may be obtained or searched for. Where a document is referenced but has no specific number attached it will need to be searched for on the relevant microfilm.
