The second volume of the great Encyclopedia is complete in itself for the New Jersey and Pennsylvania monthly meetings which were part of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. It includes all records of genealogical value, both Orthodox and Hicksite, known to be in existence for the meetings from the last quarter of the seventeenth century down to the time the work was originally published in 1938. The records are of two principal classes: (1) births and deaths and (2) minutes and marriages, and they are arranged in alphabetical order, by family name, under their corresponding monthly meeting. The marriages are arranged by the names of both brides and grooms. Also provided are abstracts of Quaker certificates of removal, which enable genealogists to trace Quaker ancestors from one monthly meeting to another.

This review is from: Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, Vol. 2: New Jersey and Pennsylvania Monthly Meetings (Paperback)
Large book that would be cumbersome if in hardback. Heavy enough in paperback. Print is typewriter letters but clearly and solidly set on the page.
I took this volume to bed to read but laid it on the bed for support while reading. It has a general history of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, a page of abbreviations, and a little history of each of the earliest four monthly meetings (Salem NJ, Burlington NJ, Philadelphia PA, Falls-Fallsington,Bucks Co. PA), their records, and where those records are kept. There is a 135 page family name index with variations of spellings grouped together before all the page numbers are given. Notice is made of any individuals within a family group entry of a different name. I had great fun reading it cover to cover. 1126 pages including index.
