Butler	Sometime around 1990 (give or take a few years) a family Bible belonging to my Mother in Law was left in a house in Arlington Heights, IL, on W. Sigwalt Street. After her death and then my sister in law's death, the house has changed owners a few times and is no longer there, but I find it hard to believe that a Bible would've been thrown in the trash so I'm hoping someone will turn it in. The JEHUA BUTLER family births, all in Brookville, IN, were recorded along with some marriages. The marriages included MARTHA MAE BUTLER marrying (1897) JOHN C SHAW and their son, SHARON J SHAW marrying (1932) KATHRYNE KAISER (my mother in law). There were also many clippings as well as a small photo album. I would be so grateful to find this Bible and have the info made public. Thank you, Ruth Shaw E-mail: ruth410s"at"verizon.net To email Ruth, replace the "at" with @ in the above email address.

Lowe Bible NOTE: This Bible has been reunited with it's family! See the transcription of the Lowe Bible records submitted by Ed McClelland.	I have in my possession a very old Bible & would like to find the family. The family name is Lowe. Earliest recorded date in the Bible is Washington Lowe, born Feb.4th 1805/married to Rosanna Williams, born July 31st 1804. Both died in Tennessee. The last known family member to me was Sudie B. Rose who died many years ago in Houston, Texas. She was an ancestor of the Lowe family & lived in Houston although I believe the family was from Tennessee.

Nicholson / Gibbs Bible	Bible was found in a stockroom at J.C. Penny in the Castleton Mall, Indianapolis, IN. It had probably been there since the summer of 2005.

Mayo Bible	This old Bible was found in the home of my Grandmother after her death. I do not know anything further about it, except I would like for it to be put in the hands of the appropriate family member. Surnames: Mayo, Byers, Smith, Wilson. Contact Brenda if this belongs to you.

McBride	I have a bible that was among several boxes of books my husband retrieved from a recycling dumpster in Lizton, Indiana. The cover has the owner's name, Alexander Charles McBride, and the inscription inside reads, " Presented to Alexander Charles McBride by A.C. McBride ("Grand Pa"), Dec. 25, 1943." There also were two photographs of an older couple inside. I hope to be able to return this bible to the family. The many books pulled from the dumpster lead me to believe that a family member discarded the owner's book collection after his death.

Niles / Ferris	I have an old family Bible that I would like to see reunited with the family it belongs to. It lists a marriage of Luther Niles to Miss Chloe Gray on March 5, 1818. Some Niles births are listed from the late 1700's into the late 1800's.The writing is very faded, but it looks like the other names in it are from a Ferris family. Dates are from the early to mid 1800's. Let me know if you can connect up with anyone on this. My name is Donnette Salczenko, and I live in Florence, Wisconsin. My email is: donnette"at"borderlandnet.net if you need to contact me. To send email to donnette, replace the "at" with @.

Pickles, Stevenson, Greer	An Oklahoma genealogist contacted us with a found Bible that she wishes to return to the family. It was found in an abandoned house here in Oklahoma, but most of the information is about families in or near Pittsburgh, PA. The Bible is large, about 6 inches thick and also has some obituary clippings tucked inside. The family names are Pickles, Stevenson and Greer. The oldest person listed is Harrison Pickles b. 5 June 1850 d. 1911. A quick census search finds him and wife Melissa Jane in the 1880 US Census of Beaver County, PA. Also found him in other census through 1910. Bible names his four children with birth/death info. Bible appears to have belonged to his daughter Clara Emma Pickles Stevenson.

Rothwell Bible	I have a Bible that is so old it is falling apart and I have to keep it in a freezer bag. It is "The Inspirational Bible" The only writing in it is the Presented to: Lillian Rothwell - November 2-1944 - by someone who's name I cannot make out, it looks like Ottis but I cannot say that is definite. I do not want any money from the family, just the fact in knowing that it is back where it belongs, all I would ask is that they pay for the shipping. I bought this from a family yard sale after a death on 8-22-1998, I know this for a fact because I wrote it on the bag I keep the Bible in. Contact Brenda if this belongs to you.

Shade Bible	I found a old Bible in our shed we have had since my father past away. I do not think it has any thing to do with our family for my dad was one who brought stuff from auctions and kept, I believe this Bible is where it came from. I am sending the records I found in the Bible which I put back in the same pages they were found. There was also some dried flowers and may have been more but never went though all pages. It would be interesting if someone in that family would claim it. Please let me know. Thank You Beverly Miller, California Contact Brenda if this belongs to you.
