There were two major groups of believers who disagreed with the beliefs and practices of the Church of England.

Copies of the text were published in 1622, and copied down into the Bradford manuscript about 1630. A copy was also published for Plymouth Colony in 1669 by Secretary Nathaniel Morton (to which he included the first known list of signers). It was also published with the names of the signers in 1736 by Thomas Prince.

While not a traditional "vital record", they often provide great clues like death and birth dates, name of the cemetery where the deceased was interred, name of the funeral home, and sometimes even a photo of the ancestor. In her article, Funeral Cards, Elizabeth Kelley Kerstens explained that, "funeral cards were to be distributed to family members, friends, and the surrounding community in a timely manner to alert invitees to the date and time of the funeral. Recipients of a funeral card were expected to attend the funeral or risk offending family members. Conversely, those who did not receive an invitation would have been insulted, whether it was intentional or an oversight." Search the Funeral Cards Online collection Contributing Funeral Cards
