Excerpts from the Kewanee

RLDS Branch Minutes/ Record Book
1863-1880
Submitted by Susie Martin-Rott
Things to bear in mind about this information:
- Transcribed from microfilm copies of old handwritten text
- Spelling as it appeared in the original text
- ** or ? indicate illegible or damaged text
- Some portions totally illegible-trying for better copies
- X in a field indicates no information found- ** or ? indicates information
there but not legible
- Children are "blessed" shortly after birth - Baptism is usually as
Adult
- This is not a complete transcript- these are excerpts!
- Years written as /64, /74 etc refer to 1864, 1874 and so forth
- Dudley England was at one time part of Staffordshire, now considered part of
Worcestershire.
- Have found records indicating both in this document depending on time frame
of birth, etc.
- I bear no responsibility for the accuracy of this data-some may have been
entered incorrectly in the original or transcribed incorrectly. I have done my best to indicate questionable
transcription and am still working on getting better copies
- Information from other sources may be used in deciphering the entries in this
record book (example: some of these are my family members and I know the first names not legible in the record
based upon the birthdate, etc). Any information added via this method will appear in RED.
- If you recognize a name or piece of information on this list and can add to
it, please send email. With CLUES, I might be able to pick out more information.
- As I work my way through the pages of the records, more facts about those
already listed may be amended or changed. Notes may be placed at the end of the listing regarding such
changes
