(1) Many were microfilmed by the Mormon Church and can be rented thru their Family History Centers. I did manage a trip to Salt Lake City and spent a week at their main respository. (2) Some records were also transcribed by the Western NY Genealogical Society and is published in their quarterly journals. They recently produced a CD of about 20 years of those journals that is available for sale. (3) There is also a book of the 1828 Quaker Census which just lists family member names and what meeting location they attended. (4) There are at least two repositories of Quaker data on the east coast. One is at a college in Strathmore, PA. They have an online catalog of their holdings. That's on my 'to-do' list some day. There is another one in Manhattan. (5) Rootsweb also had a website specific to Quakers. It has alot of helpful info and links. To my knowledge, there was no formal meetings for Cattaraugus Co so records maybe located in nearby meetings. I believe the Aurora/East Aurora fall under the Hamburg/East Hamburg meetings. For western NY, look for meeting minutes for Clear Creek, Collins, Hamburg, East Hamburg, Eden, Concord, Willink. The quaker removal certificates are also a good source of info. They document when families moved from one location to another. They aren't indexed and sometimes the ink is pretty faded.
