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. As private, family records, Bible records are not available largely in any one collection. Family Bibles that are no longer in possession of the family may be at a historical or genealogical society. Also, it long has been the mission of the Genealogical Records Committee of the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) to publish Bible and other similar family records, and many of these volumes are available. An example is: ''Miscellaneous Bible Records of Indiana.'' Indiana: Indiana Daughters of the American Revolution, 1995. (Series 2, Vol. 62, Indiana Daughters of the American Revolution Genealogical Records Committee Report.) | Many families traditionally recorded births, marriages, and deaths in the family Bible, family record, or Book of Remembrance.
