If you have a colonial dead-end from New England, the Mid-Atlantic, or the Carolinas, you might have a Quaker hiding in your family tree.
Although few in number, Quakers left a mountain of records, with many originals now available online. In this course explaining Quaker records in both the United States and the British Isles, you will learn of unique finding aids to help you locate records residing in on-site repositories. Discover how Quakers' historical origins and their views on the military and slavery affected their migration patterns across the U.S. Grasp how radical it was for women to play an equal role in a religion and its record keeping. Leave the course with a massive bibliography of Quaker records in print and online.
Faculty:
- Steven W. Morrison, course coordinator
