New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) is looking for bible record donations

Monday, December 2nd, 2002

The latest New England Ancestors Magazine has a small article about the NEHGS is soliciting donations of old family bibles that contain genealogical records, but they are also accepting scans of the title page and those pages with genealogical information. I’m going to see if they are interested in scans of my newly aquired Gideon Taylor/Sarah Burr 1756 bible[1].

Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness

Saturday, November 9th, 2002

Last week three different people alerted me to an auction on ebay of an 1857 family bible. The seller had scanned in a couple of the pages that showed the original owner (Gideon Taylor) as well as some of the marriage and birth records (m. Sarah Burr). The three people did a search on google and rootweb.com and found that they were in my genealogy (actually my wife’s side).

Fifty dollars later and the bible is back in the hands of the
family!. I’ve scanned the the genealogically interesting pages and offered them to anyone
who is interested.
