A family Bible is a designation given to a Bible which has family information recorded on pages within the book. This has been a tradition among many families and is a good source of information about immediate family members and relatives, including names of parents, children, their spouses as well as their dates of birth, marriage and death. This is a valuable resource because, if the information is recorded as the event occurs, the information is regarded as being reliable. Also, for some families, Bible records may have the only recorded vital statistics information. Generally, family Bibles are passed down to succeeding generations, but those that are no longer in possession of the family may be at a historical or genealogical society.


The Daughters of the American Revolution collection contains some Bible records from Arizona. This collection is described in [[Arizona Genealogy]] under “Daughters of the American Revolution.”

==Why Search for Family Bibles==
*Many periodicals publish family data from Bible records. These are referenced in the "Families" section of the PERiodical Source Index '''('''[[Periodical Source Index (PERSI)|'''PERSI''']]''')''', described in the "[[Ar  Periodicals|Periodicals]]" section.
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.
