CHARLES DOBIE : GENEALOGY & LOCAL HISTORY
HAY - MacGREGOR FAMILY BIBLE
This is a transcript of the names found in a very large illustrated Bible, published
before 1908. The book
is very worn and tattered, with the binding split and hanging from a couple of threads. It was too heavy and in too poor
condition for me to be able to scan it, so I just transcribed it by hand.
The names are written on elaborately-engraved "certificate" pages which are between
the Old and New Testaments.
