About this webinar

Successful Quaker research requires a familiarity with typical Quaker migration routes, and no two Quaker migration events are the same. This was true for the Hunt family of Burlington County, New Jersey. Once they began to move, they covered a lot of ground. Follow them from New Jersey to Virginia, Western Pennsylvania, and on to Ohio, then moving again to Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa. This case study will also identify when and where the family ceased to be members of the Society of Friends.

    I have direct and collateral ancestors who were also in the Redstone/Westland/Short Creek meetings at about the same time (White, Johnson). Very helpful and thorough. I appreciate the quakermeetings.com info, thanks, as it gives me a list of specific Quaker meetings histories I can consult.

    It was helpful to hear someone talk through the set of records that had been found -- explain what might have happened or why it happened, such as the large Monthly Meetings splitting up because of size rather than moves.
