I am new to this list and am interested in this. I don't have a problem with someone querying to see if someone out there has a family Bible they need, or posting the info in an extant Bible in their possession (the more info the merrier, I say) but I do have a problem with a general genealogical query. I subscribe to many lists and if one wants to do a general inquiry, there are other posts for that. Enough said. Don't want to have any more bickering. I have in my possession a family Bible from a family that lived at 109 East Evers, Bowling Green, Ohio. I also have various announcements, letters, and a couple of photos. However, we still have not unpacked from our move and they are in a box somewhere in here. I would be more than happy to return these to the family once I can find them. We lived in that house about 28 years ago and my mother found them in the attic. Packrat she is, she carted them around until 1996, when she ran across them (after 15 moves, two divorces, and a couple of floods) and gave them to me, as I was very attached to the house before we moved. The only thing she kept was a traveling trunk, and I think that these things were in it. We probably sold the trunk years ago. At anyrate, I will attempt to find it and post the info to the web in hopes that someone will need it. Jeannine R.
