found: Writing in family Bible
find other things: prev - random - next
about the find:
Successive family members (not my family) have signed their names into what was obviously a family heirloom.you can also see faint pencil tickmarks throughout the text - someone evidently studied it very closely.
I find it interesting to compare the text between this and modern King James bibles; there are quite a few differences
PS: I wasn't the one who taped up a bible from 1846..
responses:

That was a common practice to list births, marriages and deaths in the family Bible.
