Comments And Suggestions

BIBLE RECORDSLook this term up in the glossary.

Many families traditionally recorded births, marriages, and deaths in the family Bible, family record, or Book of Remembrance. Bible records may sometimes be the only record for vital information. Family Bibles that are no longer in possession of the family may be at a historical or genealogical society.

The Daughters of the American RevolutionLook this term up in the glossary. (DAR) Genealogical Collection contains some Indiana Bible records. It and its index are cited fully in the “Genealogy” section of this outline.

Other significant Indiana Bible collections include:

Daughters of the American Revolution. Bible and Genealogical Records. Salt Lake City: Genealogical Society of Utah, 1972. (FHL film 907993 item2; computer number 297144.) This includes a name index to the Bible records.

Payne, Elizabeth S. Bible and Cemetery Records. 2 vols. Salt Lake City: Genealogical Society of Utah, 1985. (FHL book 977.2 D2pa vol.1; film 1412210 items4-5 [vols. 1-2]; computer number 444549.) This includes a surname index.
