Treesharing

Last night I attended an exhibit from Christ in You Ministries called The History of Christian Scriptures. Looking at a 1607 Geneva Bible, I turned some pages and found some handwritten notes on a blank page. It was a family bible! I snapped a couple of pictures with my phone. I don’t know these people but maybe they’re in your family tree!

I know this isn’t a great shot. I took a slew of pictures, but it wasn’t an ideal camera or ideal conditions. If you’d like the others I took, let me know.
