This is probably obvious to you, but wasn't to a friend of mine who made a hash of a similar situation!! (NO it wasn't me!!) When you have found your additional pages, buy more than you need...... Write them up BEFORE you stick them in the Bible - so if you make a mistake you can begin again and don't have to ''phone a friend'' in a panic to ask how to unstick the glue lol Last one is personal preference: Maybe use a fountain pen/pen and ink NOT biro - proper ink looks much nicer (and choose a complimentary colour)! Practice first. Good Luck - You are really lucky to have this wonderful opportunity to add to your family history of the future......! Best Wishes Sarah

I would email some of the genealogy supplies sites with this query. Obviously you want the right paper and the right way of fixing it and they should know.

Hi Cha cha Do you have a local GOOD bookshop? Antiquebook shop is probably the best to give you advice. Maybe even the local library. There's always the Bargain Hunt/Antique road show pages on the BBC web site, you could e-mail them. Ann x

I have just been given the privilege of adding information to the family bible... But there are no spaces left on the fore-pages to add any names - my grandfather added names on the back of the sheets. I do recall that you can buy pages for bibles - pages that you can glue/stick into the front so more names can be added. Much as I am very adept at googling I can't seem to find exactly what I want... any ideas of specialist places I can look? If its of any consequence...I live in the south of England, and any buying I do will probably be online. Thanks in advance Cha.
