Family Bible Genealogy Links

We hesitate to include a section on Family Bible links, because the Internet is so ephemeral. Links go bad faster than we can repair them. It is for this reason, that we decided to not add Bible entries to the site that were not entirely located here*. It is difficult to identify (and subsequently de-index) Bibles or links that are abandoned.

However...the Cyndi's List entries for Family Bibles are not specific enough. The link to the Library of Virginia (with 6,000 Bibles) gets about the same treatment as a link to an individual's Bible. (Disclaimer: We love Cyndi Howell and are awestruck by the amount of information that she has categorized and made available for free. Please buy her books and support her in any way you can.)

At the Rootsweb site, choose the surname or location of interest, and sort on just the Bibles. My estimate of Bible records there is below, but it is difficult to get an actual count. Additionally, there appears to be more than 2000 messages of people searching for lost Bibles.

These are a few handpicked Bible sites that contain many Bibles. We have determined these to be reasonably permanent and currently maintained. Should any of these links go dead, please let us know. Thanks! At this date, all allow free access to their Bible records, with transcripts and/or digital images.
