Since the mid-seventeenth century Quakers have settled in America; by 1750 Quakerism was the third largest religion in the British colonies. If you have colonial ancestry in America, chances are there’s a Quaker in your family tree. Fortunately, record keeping was an important part of Quaker meetings. These records provide a wealth of information on its members including vital events, removals, disownings, and more. In this three-session online course, Senior Genealogist Rhonda R. McClure will provide a brief history of Quakerism in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada; discuss records and recordkeeping—what exists, what information is provided, and where to find these records; and offer strategies for piecing together the story of your Quaker ancestor.
