. . . you might want to share them in this way, so that they will 'live on' b (nee betsy clements collins)(daughter of a Kansas City-from Kentucky Robinson)) go to http://www.biblerecords.com/ ([email protected]) <[email protected]> Bible Records Online is a site dedicated to transcribing and digitizing the contents of family records that were written inside family Bibles and in other important documents from as early as the 1500s through today. Often, these were the only written records of births, marriages and deaths of a family, and these remain solid components to proving a family genealogy. *Please consider helping:* *Submit Bible Records* <http://www.biblerecords.com/submit.html>* *Submit family Bibles that are in your possession, or those that you can find. Bible Records found in publications printed before 1923 (in US) are in the public domain, and can be freely copied. If you have one (or several) please click the link for submission guidelines. *Family Bible Submission Guidelines: *If you personally have a family Bible or a record that you would like to submit, please consider these guidelines. Nothing is absolute, and if you cannot follow these guidelines, please submit something anyway. Please e-mail all submissions to Tracy St. Claire at [email protected]<[email protected]>. I hope to have a form on this site fairly soon, assuming my design and coding skills improve. My favorite formats for images are JPG and TIF, but I can usually read and convert most others, too. My favorite form for text is a regular ASCII TXT file, but I also use Microsoft® Word as well, which can read most formats. I appreciate having both a transcript and the associated image files, but I will accept either. More information is better than less information. I often bundle Bible records and submit them to sites that deal with specific locations or family names. Please indicate if I can send yours along if it is appropriate. Please include the following information with your submission: Header: --The primary family name in the Bible --Your name and best e-mail address --How did you get this Bible record? --A description of the Bible itself, if available, with the publisher's name and copyright date --Anything else in the Bible? --Where did this family live? --Who currently has this Bible? --Any other relevent comments Transcript: --Transcribe sequentially through the Bible -- starting with any inscriptions through the back pages. --Be sure to check the between the Old Testament and the Apocrypha, and the Apocrypha and the New Testament. This is a common place for families to record information. --Copy the information word for word, and do not correct spelling. Place comments in [brackets]. --If you cannot include a scanned image of each page, please consider having someone proofread the submission before you send it. Old handwriting is tricky, and almost every day I receive a correction on a Bible I have transcribed. Further, it is always possible that your record will be the only one ever made. Thank you very much.
