Family Bible [1]

Besides the pages that were part of the Comes Bible, there were a number of pages found loose in the Bible. Six of these were bound into a small notebook, held together by thread. There is no identification on the paper cover of this "notebook". Almost all of the records within this notebook are in the same handwriting which seems a bit shaky and may have been done by an elderly person. See below:
