My book is from 1871, and belonged to my g-grandfather. It has a brown leather cover, tooled in gold trim, with his name in the center of the book in gold. The pages are all in great condition, but the cover has rotted and fallen off and is in three pieces (front, back and center binding) Bonnie -- Jo Daviess Co, IL RAOGK Volunteer www.raogk.org Find A Grave County Keeper www.findagrave.com Visit my Genealogy Homepage: http://tinyurl.com/4zq7z
