Research Notes

Birth and Death Records - Book A This book has 3 parts. The first part, in turn, has three sections, an index, the birth records and the death records. The index consists of 13 images (Images 4-16). The birth records consist of 25 images (Images 17-40), and represent 26 numbered pages (1-26). The death records consist of six images (images 41-47) representing six numbered pages (51-57). The second part of this book are membership records. There appear to be two different sets of records. The first set is a list of 64 families (parents and children) occupying five images (Images 48-52). There is no indication as to which meeting these members belong. The second set of membership records are for the Woodberry Preparative Meeting and is a list of 29 families (parents with children) on two images (53-54). Of the remaining images, image 55 appears to be a death record out of place and the remaining images (1-3 & 56-57) identify the source of the microfilm.
