Thursday 7 F for FAMILY BIBLE.

  I am very lucky to have two Family Bibles in my possession.  The GALBRAITH family one is falling apart but it contains a wealth of information on the 10 children born to my grandparents, right down to the time of birth. The SIGRIST family one is in German and has the births and deaths recorded in it. This one has been repaired and I think lost some of its character.

All things precious.

What is the most exciting/precious item you have from an ancestor? I have two Family Bibles, one from my husband's (Sigrist)  side that is in German and the other is from my mother's (Galbraith) side. Both have the records of the children written in them. My Galbraith one even has the day and time as well. The Sigrist one has the only record of a birth, that isn't registered.
