• During the database feeding process, some data may have been introduced erroneously and upon verification the error was not noticed.
• Some information may have already been erroneous in the original files. Knowing which data are reliable may then prove to be difficult. However, the data originating from the status files are usually more reliable than those of the preparatory files.
• Some information may have changed during the time between the occupation period and the years in which the files were opened, thus between 1945 and 1960. The database team has always sought to record the data stemming from the time closest to the occupation period, but they often date from the immediate postwar period. Yet in some status files such as Statut Presse clandestine and Résistance civile, the civil status, profession and place of residence during the occupation were recorded nevertheless, which may explain discrepancies with data from other sheets, forms or files.
