Engelandvaarders are those people who were able to leave The Netherlands and arrive in England.
Volunteers have read the formal interviews taken after their arrival in England and put the routes they took on maps.
I should be able to find my father there.
Problem is that the entrance to the files is not very well keyworded.

Requested the records at the MOD (Ministery of Defense)...again!
Did that a couple of years ago. Got no reply at all.
Now the process is a lot simpeler, I submitted a request again.
Might take ages!

Got a reply from the British National Archives.
His records haven't been transferred yet.
So I have to direct my request to the MOD.
Glad they looked things up so fast and replied within days, instead of months.

Submitted a request at the National Archives.
Before the form was submitted they wrote that the waitingtime would be 2 weeks, after it was submitted: 9 months.
That was like a slap in the face.
Well, we'll see what happens.
They will first have a look if there is something to be found.
They will report this.
Then they'll inform me about the costs of someone getting the records.
We'll see.
