There is an item currently on Ebay identified as "Large 1841 Leather Family Bible". It's Item # 1975431922, and the auction ends 12/6 at 7:08 PST. The current bid is $9.95. The bible was printed in Cooperstown in 1841. It contains a family history starting with the marriage between Edward G. Royer and Mary Elizabeth Embler on Feb. 24, 1842. A brief search doesn't locate this family in the 1850 census, but there are at least two families with this surname in Tioga County. This isn't a line that I have any interest in, but I thought someone on this list might. Wilson
if anyone could try - get full transcript of the family record from the seller and deposit the copy of transcript in the Archives W.
