Topic: 2:15 to 3:30 p.m. "The Quakers Are Our Friends!" Presented by Diana Crisman Smith
The Quaker movement came to America early in the colonial period and is still active. Their records provide a wonderful source for information about the lives of the individuals. We’ll look at the unique features, understanding what is recorded, and where they may be found. Diana Crisman Smith has been researching since childhood and has been active as a researcher, speaker, writer and teacher for over 30 years. She has enjoyed speaking at conferences around the country (and at sea) and is currently enjoying “traveling” through virtual presentations.
