List I am hoping someone can help me with this question. I was helping someone with some look ups up North. They asked me what the reference below would mean. I have seen this on other entries I wondered why it would be included and what it means. Birth 02 JAN 1793 Of, Lisburn Monthly Meeting, Antrim, Ireland Thanks Teri

Teri, "Monthly meeting" refers to the Society of Friends aka Quakers. They normally kept comprehensive records, many of which have been preserved for centuries. The monthly meeting would be where an area's members met and thus their jurisdictional term. Without any intention of insulting you, I highly recommend that you get hold of one of these two books (below) and read up on Irish records in general. Until you obtain an adequate knowledge base, doing research without knowing some basics is like going to a movie without your eyeglasses. You really will enjoy doing genealogy much, much more if you can instantly recognize what you are seeing. Sharon Carberry Irish records : sources for family and local history Ryan, James G.

Sharon Thank You. I have read the 2nd, possibly not that thoroughly . I now remember the Terminology. It has not been something I have run a lot. For the most part I have been dealing Irish Catholics. I still do not quite understand the concept of including with a birth listing. Does in instantly identify them as Quakers?

You asked, apparently with some typo's: "I still do not quite understand the concept of including with a birth listing. Does in instantly identify them as Quakers?" I think what you are asking is whether the word "Of" in the birth listing is a term singularly used with Quaker listings. I was not implying that or using the word "Of" to identify this birth listing as being Quaker. I used the term "Monthly Meeting" to idenify this as a Quaker record. You did not identify where the listing appears, but, from the overall look of it, it is likely from the IGI. The IGI listings often have some quaint phrasing, so I would not place any significance on the word "Of" in the listing. Hope that addresses your concerns.
