Do you know the difference between a Peculiar Baptist and an Anabaptist? What types of records the Quakers kept? What the Puritans believed? Understanding the background to and the beliefs of the multitude of non-conformist churches can give us an insight into our ancestors' lives. Learning what records the various groups kept can give us a new lead for our research, or prevent us looking for records that never existed in the first place. This talk will not only tackle those questions, but also give a history of many of the non-conformist churches that existed in England and Wales.

Excellent presentation. I learned a lot about the origins of my separatist ancestors in America.
Today's Webinar with Jenny Joyce has been very insightful to learn about the different religion breakdown. It was interesting to learn about there views on Predestination as well as there thoughts on Statues and the dead people. Thank you for your knowledge and wisdom.
She covered a huge chronology of denominations an history of religions leading to the settling of New England giving me a much better understanding of my ancestors. Thank you Jenny Joyce for clearing several misconceptions.

Jenny Joyce, thank you for your very insightful overview of the creation, evolution, and changes within Protestantism in England & Wales.
An absolutely must watch again webinar to gain the most from this fantastic presentation about English Non-conformists. Lots of very interesting facts and diagrams to help understand the chronological history of non conformism.
Excellent review of indulgences which precipitated dis-satisfaction with Rome. From there a very clear, succinct, and interesting explanation of the evolution of the dominate church denominations in England and Wales. Look forward to future talks by this presenter.
I found the webinar to be interesting as I have many ancestors from England. I am also interested in non-conformists from Scotland where many of my ancestors lived.
Hi Doug,
Scottish Churches are a whole different kettle of fish and a whole different talk
