Message Board Post: Bible Records Page 4 (continued) By the way....I do not know who has possession of the family bible. When Larry Allan died, it was my understanding that all of his genealogy research would be donated to the Iowa Genealogy Society. That is not the case, though they are in possession of some research. The following is extracted from the "Hawkeye Heritage" a publication of the Iowa Genealogical Society in Des Moines. This was published in Summer 1996. It was submitted by Larry Allan, who was a well known researcher of these families. His submission was several pages long. I will transcribe it a little at a time. Abrreviations & spelling are as they were in the publication.
