you have my gratitude for this informative video. I came to a roadblock two months ago in tracing my father's direct line to the Quakers in NY (Chappaqua). I am not a user of the card catalog as I should be, so this and a few other videos you've done have put me back on track and saved me a LOT of work. Thanks again Crista.
Thank you for this very helpful video. I have a question; I am new to this, and because I come from an LDS family, with generations of fluffy-haired grandmothers and 30-something unmarried women who are looking for ways to avoid being stuck on nursery duty at church, my family history has been traced back quite far. One praticular record I am intrigued with is Joan Dimbleday (Dimblebey, or Sisson in The Owl) from the 1600's in Sandwich, Barnstable, Mass, and I have access to the LDS database, and therefore I don't believe I would need to pay for an Ancestry Data plan. However, knowing the church of my childhood, I am wondering just how accurate are the records of their proprietary FamilySearch.Org. Would they be comparable to those on Ancestry? Or are there certain records which might be censored from the LDS site that are available elsewhere? Thanks in advance for your insight.
Ancestry and Family Search are two distinct websites with different records available. FamilySearch currently has about 5 billion historical records indexed and searchable on their site. Ancestry has 20 billion. Approximately 4 billion records are duplicated between the two sites. Because you are an LDS church member, you can sign up through FamilySearch for a free Ancestry account by visiting familysearch.org/partneraccess
OUCH!!! The Quakers do not use any sort of plain speaking language. They used to do so many, many years ago and the reasons for it are pretty interesting but please don't suggest to anyone that Quakers are plain speaking in the old style today, or that they dress plainly today. That said, there is much about Quaker Simplicity today that is worth learning about in this, our endlessly overindulgent crazy consumer culture.

I see you have removed my LEGITIMATE criticism of Lisa Arnold's ME & THEE based on a review by a Quaker researcher in a Quaker publication from the comments to this video. Therefore, I am sending them to every genealogical blog, website, and researcher I know with a copy of the original review.
I'm not sure what you think has been removed here. (Unless you used foul language in your mysterious, missing comment, which the TH-cam account is setup to remove automatically.) Lisa Arnold is one of the top Quaker genealogists in the world. She is Quaker by birth and deep heritage and has decades of training as a professional genealogist including an internship at Swarthmore College in 2003, working with the largest Quaker record collection in America, housed at the Swarthmore Friends Historical Library. If you have concerns over what she teachers (and by extension what I share based on her teachings) I am eager to hear about. I am always happy to have a conversation and to learn more. But, if you are violating the copyright of this "Quaker researcher in a Quaker publication" that you mention by copying and pasting their words here or anywhere else, you might want to reconsider.
@@CristaCowan First of all, my e-mail is not "mysterious" and I didn't use any foul language. So, your sanctimonious smug attitude is unwarranted--and unprofessional. I posted an e-mail with information from a review from a Quaker expert named Gwen Gosney Erickson dated April 1, 2015 who had serious reservations about the book due to it limiting itself only to the Northern U. S. A. especially the Philadelphia area despite the fact that Quakers have been in the South since 1695 and were prominent in the Midwest. George Fox himself visited them in NC. Also, she failed to distinguish between the beliefs of various Quaker groups and theology which impacted genealogical records. Erickson stated "Thee and Me’s structure is well conceived and the goals admirable. That said, this guide is not without some significant weaknesses and errors." and "The book focuses heavily on Philadelphia-area Quakers, giving scant attention to the Quaker-rich regions of Ohio and Indiana, which are barely included in the main chapters. The archives at Earlham College [a Quaker college I might add], which are significant, are not even mentioned in the resources chapter." (If she is such a great researcher, why didn't she know of Earlham and include it in the book?!?!?! I'm still very much a novice in Quaker research and I knew about it and have used their extensive on-line resources!) Given these problems--and there are others in the review, she certain needed less than the stellar review you gave her book. However, should she ever expand the book and take these considerations to heart and act on them, I will certainly be the first one in line to buy it and sing her praises!
Another great print of the Burlington Meeting House, again with much accompanying text. Enjoy! www.etsy.com/listing/118261425/antique-new-jersey-print-the-historic

Some of your videos are timeless and this is one of them. Awesome video!
They are my families! Thank you for releasing all these records.
Who would dislike this video? It must have been an error. Thank you, this video is gold.
Again A very informative session, explained very well!
