My name is Stefani Evans, and I am Coordinator of this topic page for New York State . Although independent, this not-for-profit site is affiliated with the American History and Genealogy Project The purpose of this site is to enable researchers to find the records that might contain mention of their Quaker ancestors. This site contains several transcribed records, as well as information helpful to locating the original records. Beginning with George Fox in the 1600's, the Society of Friends have been excellent record-keepers. Men's and Women's Monthly Meeting minutes, births, deaths, disownments, marriages and removal certificates were painstakingly recorded by the clerk of each monthly meeting. Many of these records survive today, and are a treasure for genealogists. The specific monthly meeting attended was dictated by where a family lived. If the family moved to another location, a removal certificate was issued by their monthly meeting to the new monthly meeting. The removal certificate usually listed the parents and minor children of a family by name. If an older child removed with the family, he or she was usually issued a separate certificate, indicating clearness for marriage. The best article I've found listing the various New York monthly meetings, their locations, times in existence, and the records available for each was written by John Cox, Jr., printed in two issues of

Extractions: J ill Butcher returns as head coach of the Earlham College women's lacrosse team for the 2001 campaign. She previously guided the program a dozen years ago. The 1989 Quakers, 7-8 overall, captured four consecutive victories to reach the championship game of the season-ending Indiana University tournament. T his spring, Butcher will be relying heavily on the five returning starters to lead a youthful squad. N icole Donnelly (Monroeville, NJ/Wilmington Friends, DE), last year's most valuable team player and All-North Coast Athletic Conference honorable mention recipient will anchor this year's team. Displayed her talents primarily on defense in 2000, she will move to the center position this year. Her experience on both offense and defense should prove valuable for the rebuilding Quakers. K risten Kirk (Richmond, IN/Westtown School, PA) and Samantha Larimer (Goshen, IN/Goshen), Earlham's only two seniors, will be back in action at their respective positions. Kirk will be responsible for organizing the attack at 1st home, while Larimer will mark the opponents from defense wing. S hannon Sheehan (Centerville, IN/Centerville), Earlham's 2000 most improved player, will move from cover point to attack wing for her junior season. "Shannon's speed and strength have impressed me," Butcher commented. "I feel we can capitalize on her talents."

Friendly Bible Study
Popular Bible study method originally published in pamphlet form by quakers (members of the Religious Society of Friends) Joanne and Larry Spears.
http://www.read-the-bible.org/FriendlyBibleStudy.htm

Extractions: A translation cannot reproduce in English all the meaning of the original text. On finer points and on some surprisingly major points, significant differences exist between one translation and another. The English words chosen to translate the Hebrew or Greek are important reflections of the translator's perspective. By using several different translations of the Bible, it will quickly become apparent that translators are human. Bible study in which different translations are read sensitizes the members to how the choice of English words affects the meaning of the text. The translator's words point to the meaning of the original text, which in turn is an effort to point to truth as the author understood it. This is a liberating insight to many, and it may transform a reader's antagonism toward the text and enable the reader to approach the text in order to understand the underlying truth.

Quakers believe that God speaks to the heart and mind of every person. Equality is centrally important to Friends, who strive to address "that of God" in each person. Quaker worship and decision-making are both shaped by a common search for the Truth as revealed by the prompting of the Spirit. In practical terms, one result is that Quaker organizations make many of their decisions by a process of gradually discerning, as a community, what is the best decision for the entire group in other words, by building consensus. Another result of the Quaker belief in equality is that many Friends are active in social justice concerns, sharing the conviction that each of us is called to work for peace and understanding, treat all persons with respect regardless of differences, and discern the active presence of the Spirit at work in the world among us. Some Quaker meetings worship in silence, with attenders providing "vocal ministry" as they are led by the Spirit. Others have pastors, and follow a programmed tradition similar to many Protestant Christian denominations. In either case, Friends believe that each person is called to be a minister to others.

Chapter 1 Of Quakers In Brief - DM Murray-Rust
Many people shy away from the idea of learning about the history of something. The present, they say, is what matters. Why is it necessary to go delving
http://people.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/~ubcg09q/dmr/chap1.htm

Extractions: Back to introduction On to Chapter 2 Many people shy away from the idea of learning about the history of something. "The present," they say, "is what matters. Why is it necessary to go delving into the past?" The answer is that a much better understanding of the present, whether in science, history, social events, religion or whatever, is gained, if there is some knowledge of how things have developed or evolved from the past. Is the answer to this really important? Yes, it is; just as it is important for an understanding of Christianity to realise that it began at the time of the Roman occupation of the Middle East, which followed the Greek civilisation. Quakerism began in the middle years of the Seventeenth Century. This century has aptly been called "The Century of Revolution". This does not mean simply the political revolution in England, which led to the Civil War. There was a revolution in science, in religion, in thought generally; people were questioning authority in a number of ways, all about the same time. Thus: Round about 1630, Galileo was questioning the wisdom of the ancients: of Aristotle with regard to falling bodies and to mechanics in general; of Ptolemy with regard to the motion of the planets. As a result he came into conflict with the established
The School Of The Spirit - A Quaker Ministry Of Prayer And Learning
A ministry of prayer and learning which is a project of the Ministry and Worship Committee of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (quakers). It offers adult education sessions on such topics as Being a Spiritual Nurturer, and Contemplative Living and Prayer.
http://www.quakerinfo.com/sos.shtml

Extractions: Within the Religious Society of Friends, the traditional meetings of ministers and elders were sometimes referred to as a "school of the Spirit." In gathered worship Friends learned to discern the movement of the Inward Teacher and test their discernment with one another. This practiced listening extended into every aspect of their lives. Living into this way of being is not always easy; we often resist, preferring to ignore God's promptings into an ever-deepening union. But the still, quiet voice will not be silent, and with discipline and with the support of others we can find ourselves becoming more faithful. This ministry offers two forms of program to deepen our faithfulness: the two-year program of prayer and study On Being a Spiritual Nurturer , first offered in 1990 and now with its sixth class; and the tradition of
The Beginnings Of Quakerism - Historical Roots Of The Religious Society Of Frien
A brief account of the development of the movement that became the Religious Society of Friends (quakers).
http://www.quakerinfo.com/quakhist.shtml

Extractions: Originally published July 12, 1998 at Suite101.com George Fox is generally called the founder of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). In the mid-17th century, he was a young man who wandered around England talking with priests, religious scholars and others seeking to find religious meaning. Generally, he found that those to whom he spoke had a lot of intellectual knowledge, but did not seem to really have a true connection with God. His Journal of George Fox reported the following experience he had after several years of this search: And when all my hopes in them and all men were gone. . . I heard a voice which said, "There is one, even Christ Jesus, that can speak to thy condition," and when I heard it, my heart did leap for joy. Later, Fox felt led to climb a "great hill" called

The New Foundation Fellowship. Gathered By Jesus Christ.
New Foundation Fellowship is a ministry dedicated to promoting the spiritual understanding that marked the early Friends (quakers) through traveling ministers, special events, and publications. Online ordering of publications.
http://www.nffellowship.org/

Extractions: Sent to Proclaim His Everlasting Gospel to the Inhabitants of the World The name New Foundation Fellowship invites the following questions concerning who we are and what we are about. "What is the foundation of the New Foundation Fellowship?" We are built upon the rock of hearing and obeying the voice of the living Christ, who has appeared among us to teach us and bring us into his salvation. Our foundation is the same as the prophets, apostles, early Quakers and all the holy men of God throughout the ages. Like the Quakers of the 17th century, we can say that the Life of the Prophets and Apostles is reclaimed in this our day. We are built and are being built upon the rock of hearing and obeying the voice of the Living Christ, who has appeared among us to teach us and bring us into His salvation. For the Grace of God has appeared bringing salvation to all men, teaching us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus; who gave himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good deeds.
