On a Personal Note...Quaker Roots
I remember being told as a kid that there were strong Quaker roots in my family history. It was interesting to discover 3 of my grandparent's surnames, Fisher, Cook and Moore in this 1926 Quaker directory tucked into a Grange treasurer's strongbox.. This discovery makes the project feel even more personal. You'll notice below that it was a heavily used volume! Many of the surnames in the book show up around the museum.
