There are several pages of genealogy on pages manually glued inside the bible, and several more loosely inserted along with them. The loosely inserted pages appear to be from other writers, perhaps mailed to the keeper at his or her request. One writer tells the recipient "you will have a life job on your hand", referring to the collection of genealogy, I suppose. Many pages have the names witten in one hand and pen, and the dates filled in by another, with many left blank.
