The name "Andrew GOULD" is embossed on the front cover. There is a lined page in the Bible that was filled in with names and dates that go back to 1731 (the ink is brown, thick and quite faded, indicating that the entries are probably as old as the Bible itself). There is a separate, official "Bible Records" page with the name "Andrew GOULD" and the dates "1805 - 1896" printed on it. There are six pages of genealogy, and the latest date is 1947 so it covers family history from 1731 to 1947. Some of the marriage names are CONLEY, NICHOLS, FULLER, PHILLIPS. The GOULD family is from Massachusetts. There is a page from a 1700s Bible found in this Bible too, with the old English case, and an antique book mark made of silky thread material. [Editor's Note: To see a "slide show" of all of the family record pages and a number of other pages, all of which can be enlarged sufficiently to read them, use the link "1846bible" at the bottom of the listing.] http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=898768022 ________________________________________________________________________ PERMISSION TO REPRINT NOTICES FROM SOMEBODY'S LINKS is granted, PROVIDED: (1) the reprint is not used for commercial purposes; and (2) the following notice appears at the end of the message: Previously published in SOMEBODY'S LINKS NEWSLETTER: Genealogical Treasures Found, Vol. 4, No. 28, 14 August 2002. http://www.PetuniaPress.com/.
