The database is for making it easier to research.

KEW have made it very awkward to find a PoW within the Japanese Index files, which are from WO 345/01 to WO 345/58. 58 files with about 1,000 names per file.
The last three weeks I have compiled a database to make it easier for me to research and find an index card quickly – which name to which file. I thought it could be useful for others so have included it in the FEPOW Family Research pages. It could include a lot more information but as there are about 58,000 names in the database, it would take years to add to it. Hope it is of use. Maybe I will get back to it in time but I still have many projects to get finished:-
