YORKSHIRE QUAKER HERITAGE PROJECT: NAME INDEX DATABASE NOW AVAILABLE
ONLINE
Visit http://www.hull.ac.uk/lib/archives/quaker/ and choose 'Online
databases'
This database has been designed for family historians with Quaker
ancestors and enables the user to trace references to specific
individuals and families within Monthly Meeting minute books, as well
as within records of sufferings (cases of persecution) and membership
records.
It does NOT cover the whole of Yorkshire. Monthly Meetings covered to
date are mainly in the eastern part of the region and include: Kelk,
later Bridlington; Elloughton, later Cave; Owstwick; Owstwick and Cave,
later Hull; Malton; Scarborough; Pickering; Pickering and Hull. It is
hoped to add data for the following Thirsk and York Monthly Meetings in
the medium term, as well as Yorkshire Quarterly Meeting.
The database does NOT provide details of the subject matter of the
minutes, for which it is necessary to consult the original records.
Contact details for the repositories holding the material can be viewed
by clicking on the links to ARCHON.
Data will be added to the name index continuously over the coming
months, so it is worth returning regularly to check the site.
Please note that a similar database covering the Monthly Meetings of
Brighouse; Knaresborough; Leeds; and Settle maintained by Leeds
University Library is also available at:
http://www.leeds.ac.uk/library/spcoll/quaker/quakint1.htm
The database is the result of indexing work undertaken by numerous
volunteers since autumn 1999; their work is gratefully acknowledged.
Comments and suggestions are welcomed. The project is a collaborative
venture between Hull University Brynmor Jones Library and the Borthwick
Institute of Historical Research at York University. It is funded by
the Research Support Libraries Programme.
