Do you know the difference between a Peculiar Baptist and an Anabaptist? What types of records the Quakers kept? What the Puritans believed? Understanding the background to and the beliefs of the multitude of non-conformist churches can give us an insight into our ancestors' lives. Learning what records the various groups kept can give us a new lead for our research, or prevent us looking for records that never existed in the first place. This talk will not only tackle those questions, but also give a history of many of the non-conformist churches that existed in England and Wales.

I'm doing research on the Spiritualist movement in America and I'm interested in the history of religions. Your explanations of various denominations was very clear and easy to understand. I really enjoyed your webinar!
Loved the detailed background about how the various religions evolved from the RC church.
great starting point and plenty to consider when attempting to track ancestors.
Well presented; great information
I have Baptist ancestors and found Jenny’s explanation of how these Churches evolved very helpful.
So much amazing information of the various Protestant splits because they're so hard to keep track of. This was a great overview. My notes will help me a lot in the future!
Very nice and understandable presentation on a complicated yet very important subject for better understanding the lives of our ancestors and their beliefs.
So easy to listen to her presentation. Even though it was a complicated subject, she made it enjoyable learning.
