Each kit includes an inkless fingerprinting kit, a DNA sample collection, physical identification information, location of medical records, a place for a recent photo, and easy-to-use instructions.

Quakers were among the earliest settlers in North America and often the earliest settlers in newly-opened territory. They were amazing record-keepers: births, marriages, deaths, those who came into their local meetings and those who left, transgressions by members were publicly discussed and recorded, and as they came to believe that slavery was evil their records on Quakers who kept slaves became extensive. Learn about their history and how to find the rich records they left behind.

When looking for marriage records, you’ll assume the marriage took place in your ancestor’s place of residence, or the hometown of the bride.&nbsp; But what happens when you’ve exhausted your search and still can’t find any records?&nbsp; Where did your ancestors go to get married, and why?&nbsp; The answer might have something to do with “Gretna Greens”, the term for a well-known place for out-of-town wedding destinations.
