Arsenault Bible
This is a partial page of a family record pulled from a Bible.
It is the front and back of the Marriages/Births page, but
on complete. It was separated from the Bible and the other
record page that is usually present, so precise dating of the
Bible is impossible. The page was heavily scotch-taped, and
in poor condition. The page was purchased from a dealer in
Massachusetts.
I assume this family was from Prince Edward Island in Canada.
"Eg. Bay" (probably Egmont Bay), "-merside" (Summerside),
Miscouche, and Wellington are all in that province, and Arsenault
was a well-known name there. The later place names (Ashby,
Sydney Mines, Tracadie) are in Nova Scotia.
The births on the back appear to all be written at the same
time
and in the same hand, in my opinion. That would date those entries
to after 1908. The marriages on the front are each in a different
hand, and different from the hand that recorded the births.
