The Bible Family

Pages from family Bibles
of the Bible Family


Ralph Cansler, a Bible descendant, has done a great amount of research on the Bible surname. During his own researching he came across several items of interest, pages from some old bibles belonging to the BIBLE family in the Greene Co., TN area. He has given me permission to put these pages on the site for your enjoyment and possibly documentation.

If any of you have quite a "find" like these are, please e-mail us so we can make arrangements to upload this to our family page.
