My surname "Dillon" is in this list. I never thought of them as Quakers but it's a possibility...especially since i have had NO luck at all in researching them elsewhere! Where can you check into this??

Hi Bonny, Since Quakers married fellow Quakers generation after generation, it would seem that you would have heard about that faith in your family. Your best bet would be to contact living family members here at Christmas-time, tell them of your FH project and enlist their help. Someone should be able to come up with more definitive information for you to work with. In fact, cousins and uncles and their old family albums, letters, postcards, have been a great help to me.
