Abraham Finch Bible, Defiance County, and Lighthill Bible, Oakwood

 Some of the DCGS members have worked hard at trying to clean and organize our cramped office space.  Many people have given us things from their families, but the truth is that we are overflowing our small space ,and we are not really an archives.  Space and temperature control are two insurmountable issues we have.  Our small room is beyond freezing in the winter and suffocating in the summer.  

We hope that a family member will reclaim each of these two old Bibles, both of which have family records included inside.

The first is the Bible once owned by Abraham Finch and wife.  The inside cover has a detailed story of their immigration to America and then there is the family record itself, faded but probably readable with a magnifying glass.

This Bible is not in great shape, but is held together fairly well.

The second Bible has written records of the Lighthill family, Oakwood, Brown Twp., Paulding County, Ohio

If you are connected to either of these families somehow, let us known how and whether you would like to be the keeper of the family Bible.
