Hi Margaret, Wouldn't it just be easier to the Bible record in as a Document with maybe the file # as something like BIBLE 0001. You can link each person listed on the Bible record and put the details of say "marriage between John Doe and Janet Jones on 03 Feb 1853" or "birth of John Doe on 01 Jan 1830" etc. in the remarks field. This way you would only need to enter each bible record in once, just link the people listed on it to that file. If I had Bible records to go by (I don't) I would probably do it something like that. Maybe "tweek" it a bit.
