My Quaker ancestors have been an important part of my heritage. NSDEQ did have a website but it is down at the present time. The NSDEQ was founded in 1980. They began publishing their volume "Plain Language" about 1984. "Plain Language" is indexed and issued annually plus a membership roster. There are insignias and charms available for purchase. It lists reference libraries throughout the country for Quaker research as well as online resources. One of the online references is: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~quakers/ I look forward to each new issue to see other Quaker cousins that have been added to membership. I would like to attend their annual meeting held in Washington, DC each year but haven't made it yet. This year's topic is: "How the Quakers Invented America" given by Mr. David Yount. The meeting will be held April 17, 2009.Following the address will be installation of officers for the 2009-2011 term. Their national board is made up of many renowned and respected genealogists.

My husband's Quaker ancestors: Pike Overman Hinshaw Rogers Gardner Mendenhall Sell Crew(s) Weisner/Weesner/Wiesner My source is 'Weisner-Weesner and allied families' by John Turner Weisner. Some families came into PA>VA>NC. Most were settled in the Piedmont area of NC (Orange, Guilford, Stokes, Surry, and Forsyth Counties). From NC there was a lot of migration by family members to Indiana and points west, but his direct ancestors remained in NC. Ginny Durham, NC

I share the Pike, Overman, Hinshaw, Rogers, and Weisner lines. My point of connection to this group is Phoebe Weesner Phillips of Rush County, Indiana, daughter of Nathan and Lydia (Kendal) Weesner. Phoebe is my great grandmother and she is a double descendant of John and Abigail (Overman) Pike, noted members of Cane Creek Meeting in NC. I have a number of other Quaker lines (between myself and my husband) and will respond on specifics as I see others who connect.
