This book acquaints the researcher with the types of available
records, their locations, and the proper and effective use of these records, guiding the
reader through the pyramidal "meeting" structure to the records of birth,
marriage, death, disownment, and removal waiting in record repositories across the
country.
Our Quaker Ancestors begins with a short but essential history of the Quaker movement and
a discussion of its organization and structure, particularly as it affects genealogical
research.
Later chapters describe Quaker migrations to and within America, the special types of
records available for research and the Berrys' very own methods for locating and using
those records.
In addition, there are chapters on record repositories and libraries with Quaker sources
and repositories outside the U.S., together with a bibliography, maps of selected meeting
locations, and a glossary of terms peculiar to the Society of Friends.
