THE STRINGER FAMILY BIBLE.....REVISITED

  I contacted Marie Stringer though Facebook on July 11, 2012.  She said later that she thought that it sounded a little crazy, BUT all the information was correct, and the bible that I had was indeed her husband's family bible.
  Her husband is Ken Stringer & Ken's father, Harry was VERY interested in doing his family tree and had been doing the research for years.  It was Harry's family tree on Ancestry.com that led me down the right path to find Ken, and his wife, Marie.
  One thing you might not know about family bibles, is that they ALWAYS started when someone got married.  That was the jumping off point for their family, and this was how & where people kept all the most important family information. This bible was started when John Edward Stringer &  Sarah Hoffmaster, Ken Stringer's great-great-grandparents were married on March 3, 1868. With each child that was born, it was added in the bible.  With each relative that passed, it was added in the bible.  With each child that got married, it was added in the bible.
  ONE of the incredible things about this story is that Harry's passion for his family history was passed down to his grandson, Ken, Jr.. Then Ken, Jr. got married TWO DAYS after I sent Marie my first message that I had found their family bible.
  There is NOTHING that is coincidence or accidental............
  Ken, Sr. & Marie plan on coming to the shop with Ken's mother, Barbara after Labor Day.
  I'll let you all know how that visit transpires.

  Lest you forget,
  Michael
