Any information in the Bible? Was it a family bible with genealogy information? I'm up for trying to identify the photo if I have more clues.

If you click on the link, it will go to today's bookperdiem listing. There's a photo of the family history page.

Years ago, I bought a huge, old, very cool Bible at an estate sale held by a professional - apparently no family members could be found. There was so much info on the Births/Deaths page that I was able to locate a branch of the family and gave them the Bible (and the name of the estate sale company.) It was a really rewarding thing to do!

It breaks my heart to see old family photos like this, unclaimed.
