This is a quote from George William (Wilhelm) Linn's obituary: "He was the possessor of a German bible printed in 1534, which came down to him from his grand-father."
Since George William Linn's parentage is in question, I was hoping the bible may contain genealogical information that would clear up the mystery. Any help would be appreciated.
CRAWFORD Family Bible - found -

Email: Fontanacol@aol.com
I have in my possession a family bible. The inscriptions state: Charlie R. Crawford was born May 19, 1884 and died December, 1961. Odessa Whisman Crawford, his wife, was born Dec. 10, 1881, and died August, 1940. Stanley Whisman Crawford, born Feb.3, 1907. Charlie R. Crawford and Odessa Whisman married Aug. 31, 1905.
Stanley was their son and he died in San Francisco,Ca.,(perhaps in the 1970's). It is my hope that someone of their descendancy would want to have this bible, as it has so much history connected to it. I believe that Odessa was from Palisades, Nebraska, and brought the bible with her to California. Is there any evidence of this family in Nebraska or in the census for 1920? I believe that Stanley may have been the only child, but I'm not certain. If you have any interest in this information, and would like to be the facilitator in finding it a good home, please e-mail me directly at fontanacol@aol.com. Sincerely, Julie Collins

I am looking for the Bible of Henry Fonit PARMENTER and wife, Emily Hannah (Amy) WALDRON. The Bible's first page says it was printed in New York--Collins and Co. 1821. It contains the following surnames- Parmenter, Stokes, Lewis, Sikes, Rowe, and Waldron. The last known holder of this Bible during the 1970's or 1980's, was Mrs. Magdalene Ritch ESPY, wife of Thomas Settle ESPY.

This isn't about a Bible but something that to someone else may be just as important as finding the family bible. I recently happened upon a book called PARSHALL. It is a family book in full detail: family trees, family pictures, family info, and much more. It was written by Frank Nellis and Homer Leroy Parshall and dates the family from AD976 to 1968. The book was published in 1968 and it is hand signed by Frank and Homer. The one I have is #35 of only 400 printed and I would love to be able to pass this on to a family member. By the way would you beleive that I paid a whopping .50 for this great book.
Some of the many surnames in this book are: Patterson, Parshall, Pershall, Nellis, Nelson, Lauderbach, Johnson, Herrick, Klock, Erickson. These are just a few I pull from the index and I would be glad to give a little more info on this great book of PARSHALLs.

Found in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, family History Center......130yr. old Bible acquired by someone at Monroe Auction, Buhl, Idaho, 8 June 1984 and apparently brought to Center years ago in hopes someone could trace "owner". On the front page is written "Mr. B.K. Walker California United States of America"....Bible was published by the New York Bible Society in 1868. One of the twelve old photographs is of a small child, and on the back is written "Elmer Hudson 7months 18days born Feb. 14th 1894". We are hoping to find the relatives of either of these two people, and give them to him/her/them. I can be contacted at address above. Sincerely, Joan Patterson.
I have since found that there are indeed other names in the Bible. It is in such poor condition I hesitated to go through
the pages. This is so precious I hope we can locate the family!

This bible has a black leather cover with Germany text. The family came to American in 1909 and settled on a farm near Orlando, Noble County, Oklahoma. The bible was in the home of Emma Anna Zondler on this farm till her death in 1971. The Zondler family had a public sale (late spring of 1971) of antiques, farm machinery and cattle. After the sale, the family did not find the bible again. It may have been misplaced in a box and sold. I would love to purchase the bible of my family. Or would be glad to pay a reward to get it again. Virginia Pflum, pflum@startext.net
