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
Gerow - Gale Bible

Sumner & Goodman, Hartford, 1849.

The Bible itself is in good shape, however there are a couple of holes in the genealogy papers that obliterated a date or two. One person's entry was intentionally removed by eraser. A curious anomaly here is that although the dates of the children's marriages are all dutifully listed, the names of the spouses are not : (

After the entries for the grandchildren's births, someone pencilled the first names of the parent after the entry. These
names are in [brackets].

Bathsheba Gale in this Bible is a daughter in the GALE Bible on another site.

Census sources put this family in the Schuyler and Seneca Counties in New York, confirmed by LDS.

This bible is currently in the possession of Tracy St. Claire
