==Why Search for Family Bibles==
=== Family History Library Collections  ===
Many families have traditionally recorded births, marriages, and deaths in a family bible, family record book, or book of remembrance. A bible was often given by relatives to a bride as a wedding gift, where she recorded information about her immediate family and close relatives. Relationships were seldom stated but were often implied. Names of parents, children, and their spouses, including maiden names, were frequently given along with dates of birth, marriage, and death. Sometimes the age of a person was given at the time of death. Many families kept bible records from the 1700s (and sometimes earlier) to more recent times, although few have survived. Family bibles that are no longer in the possession of the family may be at a historical or genealogical society. They are sometimes transcribed and published in genealogical periodicals or other databases


Bible records can be used as a substitute in providing birth, marriage, and date information when vital record information was not recorded.
The Family History Library (FHL) has a few collections of family Bible records for New Mexico including the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and county collections.
