Abbreviation guide: '''OB''' (& '''TW-P''') 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/RR/G-A/KLC''', etc., are "Careful" or "Closed" (sometimes known as "exclusive") brethren (similar in practice on reception to OB Gospel Halls, expecting a letter of commendation). '''PBCC''' is a different type of "exclusive" also initially known as "Ravenites" or "Park Street Brethren" with a considerably more selective process for inclusion.
An '''IBC''' (generally) is an 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.
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, and those with currently active status presumed if bold with a plus sign.
