Joyce's Search Tip - January 2008
Do You Know that you can search just the Bible Records on the site by using the Bibles button in the Partitioned search engine at the bottom of the Current What's New Page
January 2007
Dear Joyce,

      Thank you for providing such a valuable website. I have been doing my genealogy for a about thirty years now. I have some genealogical information that I hope you will find worthy to include on your website. I feel the same as you about the old family bibles as you do and therefore am sending the information I have recorded from the family bible of my fourth great-grandparents, Samuel Mansfield Beach and his wife Margaret M. Blundell who lived in Bradford and Tioga counties. I will include my lineage from them after the transcription. I hope that this format will be acceptable to you. If not, just let me know and I will correct it. I know this must be an awful lot of work for you but I want you to know that it is much appreciated. I have noticed that in some sources, on the internet, there was some confusion over the exact birtthdate of Samuel M. Beach being either the 4th or the 11th of December, 1811. This should clear that up. I would like to be contacted by anyone who is either seeking or is willing to contribute information so I will include my e-mail address at the end . Thank you very much.

                                                                                                                                           Sincerely,
                                                                                                                                                  Ed Stahlnecker
                                                                                                                                              ( G. Edward Stahlnecker Sr.)

This is a transcription of the Samuel M. Beach Family Bible pages in possession of G. Edward Stahlnecker Sr.  The Marriages, Births and Deaths pages from the large, coffee table type bible were previously removed from the book by someone before 1958. They were passed from Samuel M.Beach to his son, Ephraim M. Beach to his son Jesse E. Beach then by Jesse's widow, Emma E. Beach to their daughter Levina Jane Beach Davis to her grand-son, John C. Stahlnecker in 1958 They were later laminated in plastic by John C.Stahlnecker in the 1960s. I received them in 1976 and carefully copied the information to paper. Some of the entries were starting to fade but most were clear enough to still be easily read. The following  is an exact transcription:

(Samuel M. Beach was the son of Jesse Mansfield Beach and Margaret Bethana Ferris.)

(All notations in parentheses in the above transcription were added by me, G. Edward Stahlnecker Sr.    It would appear that Samuel M. Beach was the one who made the entries in the bible, including the death entry for his wife Margaret just four months before his own death. The pattern of information changed with the recording of his death. Only three more entries were made after his death, and without as much attention to detail.)
