Hosted by the Aurora Genealogical Society, Glenn York, a Professional Genealogist will be presenting on basic information about the Quakers, and their records to advance your genealogical research.
The religious group known as Quakers (Friends) came to the Pennsylvania region in the late 17th Century and spread rapidly along the East coast. By the early 19th Century many Quakers migrated to the Northwest territory and by 1900 they had settled across the entire country. Quakers were known to keep detailed family records providing a wealth of information to those with Quaker ancestors. This presentation will cover some of the basic beliefs and organization of the Quaker communities. We will discuss migrations and records left behind that can advance your research.
