Abbreviation guide: OB (& TW-P & some KLC) are Gospel Halls, Bible Chapels and others within the "open brethren" (although Gospel Halls (generally) maintain a separate network from the Chapels, and typically prefer a letter of commendation from those visiting from other Halls, practicing guarded reception particularly with regard to breaking bread). Visitors are generally welcomed to observe. EB/TW/TW-N/NT/Renton/Grant/Ames, etc., are "Careful" or "Closed" (sometimes known as "exclusive") brethren (similar in practice on reception to OB Gospel Halls).

PBCC is a type of "exclusive" also initially known as "Ravenites" or "Park Street Brethren" with a considerably more selective process for inclusion.

BC are (generally) independent community or a "Bible Church" (hence the "BC") fellowships with early or indirect PB influence, and likely does not wish to be considered "Brethren". OB BC is an independent bible church that retains more than usual of its early brethren influence or practices, or observation of its heritage. See Branches of Plymouth Brethren for a more detailed list.

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 gatherings, and would generally abhor denominational titling or language.

Inclusion on this list does not presume affiliation or fellowship with others on said list, except within networks. Historically, there has been minimal interaction between (or intimate (and accurate) knowledge of) the different networks, officially or unofficially, although the advent of social media and other innovations have encouraged slightly more camaraderie, albeit informally.

Assemblies are sorted geographically, and will, D.V., eventually have further history within. Red links on Brethrenpedia are presently undeveloped, and blue links contain further data. Plus (+) signs denote ambiguity on start or closing year. Bold years either denote earliest assemblies within regions, or currently active status presumed. Ex-PB independent churches are NOT in bold, if still active, to help differentiate from those still loosely affiliated with a network.
