I AM TOLD THIS WAS ON BROOKLYN FRIENDS LIST SO I ASKED PERMISSION TO PASS ALONG-= LINDA WHO HAS NO INFO OTHER THAN THIS! For those who have New York State Quaker ancestry, I thought you'd be interested in this notice I just received about the New York Yearly Meeting records. NYYM takes in northern New Jersey and a little bit along the New England border as well. Joy Weaver=ORIG.SENDER TO ANOTHER LIST NYYM Records at the New York Public Library Friends might like to know that NYYM historical documents, originally held at the Haviland Records Room at 15 Rutherford Place in Manhattan and later conveyed to the Friends Historical Library of Swarthmore College, are now available on microfilm at the New York Public Library, 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue, New York City. Friends wishing to consult the microfilms will need to obtain an access card on the third floor of the library (South Reading Room??take along photo ID). You may apply for the card in advance from the library's Web site, but you will still need to go to the third floor to have your picture taken and to receive the card. Once you have the card, go to the Microfilm Reading Room on the first floor (southwest corner, Room 100). The microfilms are stored under call number *ZAN-13987: Reels 10-326. However, in order to determine which reel contains the information you seek, you will need to consult a printed guide that they keep behind the librarian's desk in the microfilm room (*ZAN-13987+). The guide will provide you with a list of the contents of each reel, organized by monthly meeting. For example, the minutes of Brooklyn Monthly Meeting from 1975-1990 will be found on reel 28. The on-line catalogue entry of the New York Public Library (CATNYP) lists "New York Yearly Meeting records" as the title of these documents, and the description indicates that "Certain reels may be consulted only with the permission of New York Yearly Meeting." **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!
