Hi - hope this helps You can use a scanner very carefully to scan your old bible pages, but sometimes bending older books to scan is not good for the bindings. I used my digi camera to take a picture of the cover, title pages and the family tree listing and got very readable jpgs on my computer. The genealogy libraries in my area, wont let anyone make copies of books older than i think say 1930 in the copy machine, between the light and bending the books too much they were getting ruined. But they all allow used of a digi camera with the flash off. I do take more than one pic and as above for each book the cover and title pages. For the page with my data I take a couple of close ups of hte data and a couple of the whole page so I have the page number for source Information. Hope this helps.

Sarah's father and brother Andrew settled near Sarah and her husband in Coolville. Widowed at age 60 Sarah moved with her sons to the rugged silver mining camps of Colorado. She died in Oklahoma at the age of 95. I have her obituary and other information to share. I hope there might be some way to scan an image of those hand written bible records.
