How can I find a family bible?

[youngtug]

A lot of family bibles have been thrown out, my mother did just that, They are still being dumped or sold off now. Some end up in shops or on Ebay;  http://www.ebay.com/bhp/family-bible-genealogy

One rather sad end for them is people strip out the family history in them and replace with their own. Sometimes you find them with blank pages, so you could buy one such and use it.

one of my cousins has her familys bible and it was passed down the generations to her,,,,,, in it was a wealth of family history information with names and dates of birth and death of family members,,,,,,

OK. Thanks for the links.
I have to point out that I am highly irreligious so I would rather not refer to it as a bible but I like the idea of it.

I remember seeing a buybull in our house, but we've searched through my parents belongings since they've both passed and can't find it anywhere.

Your religious beliefs don't come into it at all- if it is a Bible then it's a Bible. You started off asking how to find a Family Bible but now seem to be wanting to record your own family history. If you don't want to use a computer programme or Word document to print out details perhaps a blank book where you record information would be what you are looking for (call it something like Family Record) although it would be more difficult to make changes to update.

If you mean a Bible- not all (most don't actually) have a section for recording family details.

You don't have to censor it after all "Bible" is only a word but I just mean that if I work to make one, I would call it "DIARY" haha.

I was just making a statement.. But I will just need to buy a huge book with blank plain pages in it..

But yes. Sadly, I don't think my family ever had one, I suppose it should start now..

Sorry but 'Bible' isn't just a word- it is a particular religious book. There are books you can buy to record your own family history (printed blank trees, blanks for family groups, etc.) but they tend to be very restrictive and limited, especially if you've more detail on one branch of a family than others. Have a google with 'family tree books' to get some ideas of lay-outs and things you might want to include.

I, too am highly irreligious, but a Bible is still a holy book!
You wouldn't be making a Family Koran now would, you?!

Personally, I don't think paper copies/lists of births, marriages and deaths can ever beat a computer database.
The database is just so easy to update!

Why not start with some (free) genealogy software - most of which can print out reports and lists (and charts) that you can hand out to family?
