 This was my Great Great Gramma Price's family bible that was presented to her in August 15, 1896. As you see her family had already entered information in the family record section before giving it to her. This bible was then passed to my Great Gramma Morgart (maiden name Price). My Great Gramma was named Emma Vernie Price and was born in 1899. You see her name on this page. Over time the bible was passed to me. It a great souce of information when putting together your family tree.

levels, curves, high pass filter, USM, duplicated the layer three times. Desaturated one layer, changed the blending mode of the other layer to soft light then added noise to give it a high contrast old world feel. Even thought this bible is very old and falling a part.

As someone who has done a bit of genealogy, I enjoy seeing these old documents and family bibles... they're wonderful bits of family history.
