A hint: when you find Bibles and want to list their names it would be so very helpful if any geographical information included could also be listed (not publishing info as the Bible company probably has no personal connection). Especially with a name like BAKER --- it would be wonderful to know if it's New England or California ... or someplace in between. Even if the name does not have a 'taker,' someone might recognize it and wish to purchase for their local history section of their museum or library. Of course, often there is no location clue -- Trevia Wooster Beverly Houston, Texas ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2006 11:25 AM Subject: [ROOTS-L] RootsL: eBay BIBLES: Handy & Baker surnames > date: 6/20/2006 > from: Donna > subject: HANDY & BAKER genealogy bibles on eBay > You have about 24 hours to view these two bible: > BAKER & HANDY surnames > ANTIQUE HOLY BIBLE 1828 LEATHER SOME FAMILY HISTORY. > Published by Holbrook And Fessenden, Burlington Vermont. > The last name is Baker and Handy.
