Finding the records to document Qauker activities and meetings in Maryland in the colonial can be a bit of a challenge - many of the very early meetings also disappeared early, leaving very little in the way of records. Many of these early meetings only ever met in the homes of their members and many never had either meeting houses or burial grounds, offering few clues to the modern researcher of their history. In many cases, the only clue to their existence may lie in the records of their superior meetings.

If you have Quaker ancestors from New Castle County, Delaware, you may have been aware that many Quaker records have been digitized on Ancestry. What you may not have known is that many of these records have been placed under incorrect headings on the Ancestry site, which can make finding your ancestors a bit of a challenge. I recently found a set of records for the Centre Monthly meeting of New Castle county under Salem county New Jersey!.
