See Branches of Plymouth Brethren to explain abbreviation types (although in short: OB (& TW-P) are Halls & Chapels within the "open brethren" (although GH's (generally) maintain a separate network from the Chapels). EB/TW/TW-N are "Careful" Brethren (similar to OB Halls), and BC are (generally) independent community churches with early or indirect PB influence, and will (usually) not consider themselves "Brethren").  AA/CA refers to assemblies of African or Caribbean origin, or predominant demographic, although all ethnicities are overly welcome in any assemblies.

The above primer link expands on the abbreviations, and also contains introduction to this (and other) sheets within the overall History. There have been scores of branches with their own distinctive networks and strengths within the history of the PB, and many branches continue to flourish today, and while no assembly or gathering is identical to the others, each is thought to maintain a fervent desire for simplicity in gathering around the Lord Jesus, though practices and secondary doctrines may vary culturally and/or preferentially as autonomous (yet inter-dependent) local churches.

Assemblies are sorted geographically, and will, D.V., eventually have further history within. Red links on Brethrenpedia are presently undeveloped, and blue links contain data. Appreciate patience with our progress, and if you'd like to help, please contact any of the editing team, preferably via social media.

Wife: Ermine "Minnie" Mercier Taft (b. 1879 Springfield, Hampden, MA - d. 1939 Keene, NH), the youngest of 17 children of Edward Mercier (b. 1830 Saint-Roch-des-Aulnais, QC - d. 1908 Springfield, MA) & Lucie Archambault Mercier (b. 1834 St. Jude, St. Hyacinthe, QC - d. 1911 Springfield, MA). Dr. & Mrs. Taft had no children of their own.

The Taft family emigrated from London, England & Louth, Ireland to the U.S., arriving in Braintree (now Greater Boston), MA in 1667. With regard to relation to the 27th President of the U.S., William Howard Taft (1857-1930), Albert's g5-grandfather Robert II (1674-1748) & Pres. Taft's g3-grandfather Joseph (1680-1747) were brothers, sons of Robert Taft (b. 1640 Leinster, Louth, Ireland - d. 1724 Mendon, Worcester, MA).

Albert's parents moved to Winchester by 1880 where Albert Sr. established a medical practice. Albert grad Winchester High & Dartmouth, interned a year at the Mary Hitchcock hospital, then in Hanover. He also spent a year at the Carney and St. Elizabeth hospitals in Boston. Subsequently he served as medical superintendent at Long Island & Deer Island hospitals for poor Irish immigrants. About 1906, Dr. Taft settled in Keene where he established a private practice where he remained until retiring in the late 1930's, and living with relatives until his death.

• Keene Meeting Room, NH (TW-EB) +1962+
  • c/o Omer Henri Vadnais (b. 1905 L'Ange Gardiene, Rouville, QC - d. 1997 Westmoreland, Cheshire, NH), son of Polydore Vadnais (1863-1953) & Celina Coiteux Vadnais (1888-1946). 

Omer emigrated to the U.S. in 1947, and later to Keene (from Weare, NH) in 1955 where he was employed under MacMillin Construction as its superintendent, retiring in 1975. Likely in fellowship with the assembly in Boston while residing in Weare. Omer was converted to Christ, with his wife, Adele Nadeau Vadnais (b. 1901 Saint-Ann, Berlin, NH - d. 1960 Keene, NH) from Roman Catholicism somewhere after 1927 when they had a Catholic wedding in Hampden, MA, and by 1931 they were residing in Verdun, QC both affiliated (census-wise) with the PB, presumably in fellowship at Natural History Hall in Montreal, although there was also an open meeting in Verdun by 1936 (and perhaps as early as 1931) so there is that too.  One of their children was Valerie A. Vadnais Jangro (b. 1935 Montreal, QC - d. 2009 Jessup, MD), active with the Evangelical Free.
