I found a lot of good obituaries and family history articles by simply
thumbing through the bibles of my elderly family members... some really
details of the
original source as possible should be recorded with it.

I agree with Jennifer, with a couple of additions. Mills would

I would suggest keeping a copy of the page(s), since we all know that web
sites come and go, even if it's just a domain change (my pages just moved
to their fourth domain in 12 years; hopefully this one is permanent).
There are two ways to save a web page on your PC.
1. Click File - Save As -
I would try to contact the poster of the facts, to get
or purchase a photocopy of the various pages AND the
title page of the bible. Until then, keep the printout
stored safely.

I can only add an Amen to seeing the original - or, in the case of a web
site, asking these questions of the person who posted the information.
Maybe they provide copies of the original pages?

I have a similar issue. I have xerox copies of pages from a family

If those pages were mine, then I'd 1) scan them, and 2) put the
description that you just gave (only use the actual names) in the
notes. I'd also post online to see if anyone else had info.

I am divorced, and I just recently (as in two days ago

I will be going back in two weeks to do this, as his

If you have the equipment yourself, take it. He may
remember more stuff while you are working. If not a
choice, offer to drive him and the book to the local
copy store. I have done this with family members who
would not part with the records for a second. This
also sets up trust for future
I would make sure that you get the title pages and the first page of the

Forgive my ignorance, but what purpose does the first
pages of the old and new testaments serve? Do they
hold some significance?
Title page I understand.
As this is one of those huge white family Bible
editions, it has several pages in the front for the
family information, and I know it is
While a great option, the nearest copy store to my

Taking my laptop and flatbed scanner seem to be what

Hi Richard,
Printing webpages with a PDF printer is a good idea. There are a lot
and some are free. I use Jaws PDF Creator which isn't but have used

stuff. You install them and then they are listed with your other
Hi Jess,
Depending on the condition of the Bible and the binding, it may not
be possible to scan it. I'd make sure I had a digital camera and
check the photos are sharp before you leave. It does help to have a
tripod for this type of photography but I usually just check I've got

And be sure to leaf through the bible to see if there are any
additions such as newspaper clippings, photos, etc.

It helps establish the time period of the bible and the printing method
(helping establish provenance) on old bibles those are usually the most
adorned and well printed pages in the bible.
Just helps you to authenticate it later and know that it is a bible from

Richard,
The tools Legacy uses to create a PDF file are not available for other
purposes.
PDF995 is the easiest option for most people, although there are probably
other programs in the shareware/nagware arena (PDF995 is nagware until you
register it; registration adds some tools along with
