Historical membership records for most of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint congregations (called Wards or Branches) are now located in the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A. Many additional copies (originals) are found in the Church History Library. Currently, these records may only be viewed in the Family History Library. Digitization for most of these records has not been completed. Dates of living baptisms are mostly available for church members. These baptismal dates may be viewed in FamilySearch.org's Family Tree. However, there are (yet) many early convert baptisms which have supposedly been indexed (at least), but which are not made conveniently accessible in the Family Tree at this time. There is a hope and expectation that FamilySearch.org will prioritize the completed living early baptismal (indexed) data (the pre-1920 baptisms) by making it available in an accessible online format at some point in the near future. [Note to Church members: Just about all other ordinances for the living and by proxy (for deceased loved-ones) performed in nearly 180 years-worth of temple proxy work, are mostly available and found in FamilySearch.org's Family Tree. The place of baptism is never given. The place and original date[s] of living baptisms are found in the microfilmed branch/ward membership records of the town in which they occurred. Look in census records to help you determine where your ancestor resided in order to help determine in which the likely township or city a person was likely to have been baptized.] | Historical membership records for most of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint congregations (called Wards or Branches) are now located in the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A.

Here is a digital version of an [https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/records/item/150018-redirection '''excellent Family History Library reference aid, called ''LDS in Britain'' for finding local branch records in England'''], with colored maps. | Here is a digital version of an [https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/records/item/150018-redirection '''excellent Family History Library reference aid, called ''LDS in Britain'' for finding local branch records in England'''], with colored maps. These records have not yet been digitized and made available outside of the Family History Library. However, the [https://catalog.churchofjesuschrist.org/ '''Church History Library'''], which has also acquired at least a majority of branch membership records, has digitized some of these records and they are accessible for research online. For those that have not been digitized, by submitting a "Request" to digitize (see the online catalog entry), one can obtain access for a limited time period. Allow approximately two to three months (sometimes longer) for digitization processing. | ||

Quakers appeared frequently in the Quarter Sessions records with other Nonconformists during times of persecution. Quakers refused to swear the standard oaths as they believed that one should tell the truth all the time. However, in 1696 it became possible for Quakers (and a few Strict Baptists), to make an ''affirmation'' rather than swearing an oath. Quakers also would not take off their hats before the magistrate as a sign of deference as they believed all were equal, so for these offences they were often committed for contempt of court. Several stayed in prison for many years without any conviction. The Anglican Church frequently took Quakers to court for refusing to pay tithes, and bailiffs were appointed to confiscate goods of a greater value than the tithes they refused to pay. Quakers were leaders in educational reform and established their own ''Meeting Schools'' from the 17th century, as well as ''Private Schools'' and public ''Committee Schools'' from the 18th century. Committee school ''admission books'' can be found, some of them published, but records of Meeting and Private Quaker schools are rare. Note that attendance at a Quaker school does not necessarily denote membership in the Society of Friends. Quaker teacher training institutes were set up from 1848 in the midlands and north of England. Further information on [http://www.quaker.org.uk Quaker schools], and a large bibliography can be found at their website. | Quakers appeared frequently in the Quarter Sessions records with other Nonconformists during times of persecution.
