Hi Stafanie One of the best places for Quaker Records is Swarthmore College in Swarthmore PA and I have been there and found a great deal of information on my NYS Ancestors who were Quakers. However the Rhode Island Historical Society in Providence RI is the major place to find NE Quaker Information and I am sure if you write or call them they can give you further information.

February is Black History Month. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a Black History program every week on PBS. I thoroughly enjoyed last night's program, and look forward to the others that may come. A note: One of my many removed uncles had slaves. A CLARKE. I wonder if he would have kept the slaves if Dr. John Clarke had been around. I was surprised to learn this, but I guess I shouldn't have been.

And there is another show coming on about genealogy on PBS at 9:00pm...it's by a well known African American genealogist and he has some of the stars on, a 2 part series. Chris Rock, Quincy Jones, Oprah Winfrey, Whoopie Goldberg, etc. he traced their genealogy and has pictures to back it up, they are all amazed. Should be good.

I replied to this today on RIGENWEB. In CA it starts tonight on PBS. At least in LA, PBS KCET at 9p.m. Called African American Lives. Barb

*NOTE* In addition to the Courthouse lookups, with the addition of the Genealogist's Address Book also by Elizabeth Petty Bentley, I am now able to offer info on the addresses, etc of National Archives, Govt Depts & Agencies, Vital Records Offices, Research Libraries, Historical & Genealogical Societies & Independent Publications. Also I can offer info in all of the above categories on a State & American Trust Territories level. Also info on some of the major Ethnic & Re- ligious Organizations & Research Centers, Lineage, Hereditary, & Patrotic Societies, & other miscellaneous relating to genealogy. Please realize that not every entity will be listed, & I may not be able to fulfill every request...But give me a try & I'll do my best to help you. I ask only that you be SPECIFIC in stating what info you are looking for. My address & instructions for requesting follow at the end of this entire message. Please keep your reguests to the minimum as to wording, & do NOT include extraneous info as to your findings, etc, as I will not be doing the researching--This will be YOUR task thru the info I 'may be able' to provide you. Please be advised that all of my services are "FEE-FREE" in the interest of "People helping other people." Thank You! *More follows below* County Courthouses in most states are the main sources for obtaining Vital Records & other pertinent info of interest to genealogists. But as many of us are researching in areas far distant from our places of residence; contacting Courthouses in those areas oft presents a problem. In this respect I have a copy of the 2nd Edition of the County Courthouse Book by Elizabeth Petty Bentley. It covers all 50 States as well as the American Protectorates of American Samoa; Guam; Puerto Rico & the US Virgin Islands for a total of 3,125 Courthouses. Should any listers have need for the address, phone number, & services offered by any of the various Courthouses you may contact me by E-mail at the address below & I will be only too pleased to share the info as a genealogist to genealogist service. I adhere to the code of: "GENEALOGY...PEOPLE HELPING OTHER PEOPLE." *NOTE* I always assume that genealogists are looking for Vital Rec- ords so I will list only the Contacts for VR's. If you wish the Contacts for Land, Naturalization, or Probate Records please advise me acc- ordingly in your request. Thank You!

I don't think this is the DeWolfe program. from the pbs website, for African American Lives, http://www.pbs.org/wnet/aalives/about.html Using genealogy, oral history, family stories and DNA analysis to trace lineage through American history and back to Africa, the series provides a life-changing journey for a diverse group of highly accomplished African Americans: Dr. Ben Carson, Whoopi Goldberg, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Dr. Mae Jemison, Quincy Jones, Dr. Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot, Chris Tucker and Oprah Winfrey. There's a whole bunch more information on the site. Maybe some of these people can connect their families to the RI slave traders, but it doesn't specifically say so. I thought we determined that the program about the DeWolfes was called "Traces of the Trade" http://www.tracesofthetrade.org/about.html created by Producer/Director Katrina Browne There are several different programs about slavery being shown on PBS this month, but I don't think the Traces of the Trade is ready to be shown.

Greetings: Does anyone know anything about the Catholic Institute Association? It probably existed sometime around 1899 - 1940's or later in the area of Lonsdale Rhode Island or possibly all of Rhode Island. Did they publish any history of the organization? If anyone has a copy of such a history, I am interested in any information on an Edward A Keenan who was the financial secretary for many years. Is it still in existence? What is the address, email address or web site for contacting them? Thanks for any information Mike Kennedy

Thank you for your offer. Do you have any information on Alice Mosher, born in 1846 in North Dartmouth, Mass?
