Indiana Bible Records

Many families traditionally recorded births, marriages, and deaths in the family Bible, family record, or Book of Remembrance. Bible records may sometimes be the only record for vital information. Family Bibles that are no longer in possession of the family may be at a historical or genealogical society.

The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Genealogical Collection contains some Indiana Bible records. It and its index are cited fully in Indiana Genealogy.

Other significant Indiana Bible collections include:

Daughters of the American Revolution. Bible and Genealogical Records. Salt Lake City, Utah: Genealogical Society of Utah, 1972. (Family History Library film 907993 item 2.) This includes a name index to the Bible records.

Payne, Elizabeth S. Bible and Cemetery Records. Two Volumes. Salt Lake City, Utah: Genealogical Society of Utah, 1985. (Family History Library book 977.2 D2pa volume 1; film 1412210 items 4-5 [volumes 1-2].) This includes a surname indes.
