5.0 out of 5 stars
Philadelphia area records from the late 1600's thru late 1800's, Nov 1 2009
By S. REED "Lima Biblo" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy (Paperback)
Large book that would be cumbersome if in hardback. Heavy enough in paperback. Print is typewriter letters but clearly and solidly set on the page.
I took this volume to bed to read but laid it on the bed for support while reading.
It has a general history of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, a page of abbreviations, and a little history of each of the earliest four monthly meetings (Salem NJ, Burlington NJ, Philadelphia PA, Falls-Fallsington,Bucks Co. PA), their records, and where those records are kept.
There is a 135 page family name index with variations of spellings grouped together before all the page numbers are given.
Notice is made of any individuals within a family group entry of a different name.
I had great fun reading it cover to cover. 1126 pages including index.
