I used to have the book on CD from Family Tree Maker but the CD broke. The book is made up of birth, marriage, and death's abstracted from the Society of Friends church records. It will give you the name, event and dates but you will have to search through the microfilmed copies of the handwritten records to find the actual information if you want it. It is a very useful book as it has a majority of the early records for most quaker meetings in the State in one place. The CD has six or seven large volumes covering several states from New York to North Carolina, all searchable by name. As Quakers kept good records and tended to mary others of the same faith, once you find a Quaker ancestor, this CD can be a gold mine. Every Morman Family History Center has a copy of the entire set of books on microfisch. They also can get microfilmed copies of most of the original record books.

Hi Harriet, How can I thank you adequately for locating the much needed information on Rhoda and his brother William? I have not thought about the search in Connecticut until I read your email. Now I remember all birthday cards and Christmas cards sent to Daddy every year from someone named "Captain" in New Britain, Connecticut. I would ask Daddy who "Captain" was. He said she was his grandaunt. Thank you very much for the search. I appreciate it greatly.

Hello, I wonder if two siblings' names ring a bell: Rhoda C. Ferguson, born August 1849 William E. Ferguson, born 1845. According to the 1870 and 1860 census returns, they were born in Virginia to the father born in Massachusetts and to the mother born in Virginia. Rhoda C. Ferguson married to Richard Edward Brydon in about 1860. They lived in Allegheny Co (now Garrett Co., Maryland. Before 1870, they moved to Baltimore City, Balto Co., Maryland and had three sons and three daughters. Living with them was Rhoda's bachelor brother William E. Ferguson, a commissioner in Baltimore. Richard E. Brydon and his brother William Alfred Brydon were born in Rome, New York, and lived in New Orleans, Louisiana, before settling in Maryland in or before 1860. The name "Rhoda" Ferguson was not common in Virginia in 1800s, but it is still hard for me to find her in VA's 1850 census. Maybe she was born in VA and moved to another state. Meaning I have to search for her in each state. Maybe in Massachusetts for a while where her father's parents lived.
