The European Mission was created as an administrative unit over the missions of Europe. The president of the mission also served as president of the British Mission
 
1 January 1929, the British Mission was separated from the direct management of the European Mission. August William Lund became the first solely British Mission President, and John A. Widtsoe continued to serve as European Mission President.
 
*Note: the missionary registers often list calls as simply "Europe" or "European Mission," but these individuals were not called to the administrative mission and have been listed under the appropriate missions in which they labored. Presidents of the European Mission prior to the separation in 1929 are listed on the British Mission page as presidents of that mission.
