Eric Huffstutler, The Quaker records for these counties were all maintained by the Cedar Creek Monthly Meeting, renamed Richmond Monthly Meeting in 1875. My website lists the locations of the original records and the reel numbers for the microfilm copies at the Maryland Hall of Records but (so far) not the microfilm at the Library of Virginia. https://www.quakermeetings.com/Plone/meeting_view?anID=1774 [Note that QuakerMeetings.com was moved to the Earlham College server last August, and some browser security settings still consider it a possible threat. I have had no such problem.] The Library of Virginia also has the abstracts of Cedar Creek MM records published by Mary Marshall Brewer. http://lva1.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/F/FAGAS3M32892345R2H7KC6E1QHYRS77ATCGQH BFX8BD26YNC6N-14479?func=full-set-set&set_number=002886&set_entry=000001&for mat=999 [Single URL; most programs will insert line breaks that must be removed before one links to the website.] Tom Hill Thomas C.

Virginia began recording birth and death records in 1853. Prior to that year, they were recorded in church parishes or family bibles. http://www.lva.virginia.gov/public/guides/rn2_vitalstats.htm -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of research and writing about Virginia history On Behalf Of Huffstutler, Eric S.

What are the earliest Richmond City and Henrico County birth and death records available at the library? I am seeking the 1800-1840 period for both centering more on 1800-1835. Thanks.
