    1. [TNLAWREN-L] Wayne County, Tennessee Bible Records Porject Announcement
    2. Edgar D. Byler, III
    3. The Wayne County Historical Society, Wayne County, Tennessee, is entering into a project of collecting as many Bible records as we can to be published and available for purchase. Any family who has lived in Wayne County, Tennessee, or who presently lives in Wayne County, Tennessee is encouraged to share their Family Bible Records with the Historical Society. This can be done by taking the Bible to any office of the Peoples Bank, Wayne County Bank, or Bank of Waynesboro to have copies made at no charge. You may also take them to the Office of the County Historian in the Courthouse or most churches to have copies made of the Brith, Death, Marriage and Publisher's pages of the Bible. We especially need the "Publisher's Page" or the "Title Page", showing the name of the publisher and/or the date of publication. If the Title or Publisher's page is missing, a copy of the New Testament page will usually work. Copies may be mailed to the Wayne County Historical Society, P.O. Box 866, Waynesboro, TN 38485-0866, may be brought to the office of the County Historian in the Courthouse, or emailed to Mrs. Betty Anderson at <andcoy@netease.net>; Bob Rains at <rainsb@netease.net>. If emailed, please review the format for transcription by checking those records which are on-line at http://www.netease.net/wayne/originalbible.htm, or you may submit a scanned copy of the record. As you know old Bible may get lost as the years go on -- or even burned -- with no copies available for our children and grandchildren. Many times these Bible records are the only verification of family records. You participation will help us preserve the history of Wayne County (Tennessee) families for years to come. By submitting your Bible Records, you are giving permission for those records to be publsihed in the Wayne County Bible Records Book.
