Publisher's Synopsis
"Quaker Removal Certificates" provides valuable insight into the historical practices of the Society of Friends, also known as Quakers, particularly concerning the documentation of members moving between different meetings. This book, compiled by Josephine C. Frost and sourced from the records of the Nine Partners Monthly Meeting, offers a fascinating glimpse into the Quaker community's organizational structure and their meticulous record-keeping.
Removal certificates were essential documents that served as introductions and affirmations of membership for Quakers relocating to new areas. These certificates ensured that individuals were properly received and integrated into their new Quaker communities. As a resource, this collection is invaluable for genealogists, historians of religion, and anyone interested in the social and administrative practices of the Quaker movement in early America. It provides a unique window into the lives and movements of Quaker families and offers significant data for tracing family histories and understanding community networks.
