Notes, Inserts, Fragments & Other Material Recovered from the Family Bibles

There are times ya run across somethin’ that doesn’t make sense, but still connects to what yer lookin’ at …..:

Not everything preserved within the Schitt family Bibles was written on the pages intended for births, marriages, and deaths.

Over generations, the volumes accumulated loose notes, handwritten additions, inserted papers, fragments, corrections, marginal observations, and other material whose relationship to the family record ranges from obvious to questionable.

Crock’s Register catalogs those materials as they are identified within the surviving Bible collection. Items may be associated with a particular volume, family, or event when the evidence permits. Where it does not, the uncertainty remains part of the record.

Inclusion in the Register establishes only that an item was found with, within, or credibly associated with the family Bible collection. It does not establish that whatever somebody wrote on it was true.

Two fights with Cousin Deep later we figure we will do things this way:
