Judith Heald, In my review of Quaker records I have seldom seen separate minutes from a meeting's recorder. The result of the recorder's work is the record of births, deaths, marriages and membership. However, in a few meetings there are drafts of vital records and drafts of the presiding clerk's minutes; perhaps someone has considered those "recorder's minutes".. Tom Thomas C.

The Recorder notes births, deaths, marriages, new members and members who leave the meeting. The Recorder noted my daughter's marriage with her parents names, her husband's parents names, and what meeting he was associated with as well. Problem is, I don't know where these minutes for other Monthly Meetings are located!!! Swarthmore has archived Meeting minutes, but not Recorder Minutes? My hubby thinks the London Grove Recorder notes are on the London Grove property in the safe, but where are others? Judy Judith Walter Heald jheald@pennswoods.net Spring Mills, PA 16875

Tom, They may not be called "minutes" but then my query is where are these vital records stored, located, archived?

Ordinarily, they are archived with the monthly meeting minutes. I know, for example, that is the case at Swarthmore, Guilford, and here at Earlham. Of course, sometimes specific volumes get lost.
