Hi Russ, Thanks for responding. I actually was also aware that this information came from that transcription , and , like you , have searched and hoped I'd find the person with the original Bible in their hands!! I hate working off an "official family group sheet" , but , unfortunately , that's all that's available at this point.I keep hoping someone who has it or knows of it's whereabouts , will see one of these posts and will respond. Thanks again.
