Other than the identification inside the front cover, there's nothing written in this Bible. I suspect my great-great grandmother may have written at least her name on the first page when she got the Bible, which I'm guessing would have been about 1850. But the first several pages are missing now. I'm so grateful to my grandma Evelyn for thinking to write some identification in the front cover.
The book is not much bigger than an iPhone. It's about an inch thick and contains the Old and New Testaments. The print is so tiny I can barely read it. However, if you click on the image above, the wonder of technology will enable you to see that the first remaining page starts right out with our favorite subject, family history!------------

Thanks for reminding me to pick up my G-Grandmother's Bible for the repair. I had it rebound. I love old bibles. Thanks for sharing yours.

I hadn't even thought of doing that, Kathleen. How did you find someone who could do that? Is it expensive?
