I hope I don't offend anyone by requesting that such information as the
data below on the "John Calvert Bible" be documented as to its source.
Where is the Bible now? Did the transcriber see the original or a photocopy
or just somebody else's notes? What was the publication date of the Bible,
i.e., was the family information entered contemporaneous to the events
noted by the progenitors themselves, or was it entered by a descendant long
afterward? Is it all the the same handwriting and do we know who made the
entries, or is it an old Bible passed down through the family with a
variety of handwriting?
Information with the proper citation is infinitely more useful than
undocumented information that can only provide clues, but not proof. Even
though we're supplementing our genealogical research through the wonders of
technology is no reason not to adhere to our usual standards of
documentation. Thanks for letting me put in my two cents worth. Carolyn
