Biography
I am a grandmother of 2 boys and 1 girl. I have 1 daughter. I have two shetland sheepdogs. My husband is the most wonderful man (other than my father). My husband works his bottom off to take care of me. I am permanently disabled, so he pretty much does everything. I thank the Lord God everyday for what I have and what I don't. At this point in my life, I'm trying to knock off a few things on my bucket list. One of the most important things on my list is to find the rightful owners of a Civil War Bible. All I want is to find the right ancestors' and mail it to them. The soldier inscribed his name on the inside cover and at the back he inscribed his wifes' name. I looked on Geni, My Heritage, even government information. The biggest problem is that his last name is ROOT, a very common name. I hope to find the right family to return this treasure to them. I feel that I am running out of time to keep searching. I am computer illiterate. In school, I was learning how to write in DOS and using Cobalt. The typewriters keys are farther apart than this laptop my daughter gave me. I digress. The publishers of this bible and I have had communications. Liana Lupas <LLupas@americanbible.org emailed back to me. She wrote " The American Bible Society was founded in May 1816 and published its first English Bible before the end of the year. By the end of the Civil War it had printed at least 15 million Bibles. The vast majority of them have no commercial value today. The edition you (I) have may be of some historical interest if it is a really small book and its key line (to be found in the lower left hand corner of the title page), includes the words Agate or Pearl or Nonpareil 32mo. If it does, the book was almost certainly one of the 3 million copies provided by the Society to soldiers and sailors on both sides of the conflict." The Bible is a hard cover edition, about 4.5 inches by 3 inches. I told her that the title page did contain the word Pearl, but it had (32 mo.) after the word Pearl. Liana asked me to email the title page to her, because she didn't know American Bible Society ever printed Pearl (32 mo.) on the title page. She also asked me to email her a copy of the title page so American Bible Society could have a copy. This Bible is a New Testament Bible from 1863. It is in good condition though the binding for the cover is loose from wear. There is also biblical passages of the inside of the binding. It looks like the passages are from Genesis. (which would make it even more valueable) The name inscribed is R. L. Root, 1866; Burlington. On the last page the name, Lovina Root is inscribed. The government records for New Jersey Civil War Record, Page 1332 Company C, Third Regiment - Cavalry number 57 was the record for Root, Longfoot R. He was a private commissioned or enrolled 1/1/1864, Must'd in: 1/22/1864 for a period of 3 years and Must'd out August 3, 1865. Under remarks it is written Discharged at U.S. Army General Hospital, Frederick, MD., G.O. 77, Par 6, War Dept., A.G.O. Washington, D.C. April 28, 1865 I would appreciate any help that WikiTree users and support help can give me. Please help. Sincerely,
Theresa Louise Schneider (Vangheluwe)

If you have any brick walls, collaboration might help bust through. Because WikiTree has only one profile for each person, the further back you go in your ancestry, the more likely cousins will find you and help out. ANY Wiki Genealogist can edit "Open" profiles (over 200 years old = open). There's also a brickwall tag in the G2G forum: brickwall
The help pages give lots of information about the process, best to start with 'Before you import a GEDCOM'.
