Title: FAO 'Nanny Jan' - Unwanted: Back cover Pain / Paine Family Bible 1857 - 1866
Post by: Ralph_Tudor on Friday 23 January 26 10:33 GMT (UK)
I found this rather nice back cover to a family bible today. Searching one of the names I came across a member of this site Nanny Jan whose relatives these are (I think). Happy to send it on to them if they contact me.

By the way, if someone could message Nanny Jan and draw their attention to this I'd be grateful. I can't.

There is something immensely satisfying regarding returning something to a family, I have done it on several occasions with WWI medals and Silver War Badges ( One of which was done through RootsChat.
It makes your heart smile.................

My little piece of Pain history has just arrived! I think I need a sit down with a cuppa to calm down…..so thrilled.

So kind of Ralph_Tudor to rescue it and then look for a family.


Off to put the kettle on…….

Well done, Ralph_Tudor

Great to see folks still doing what is, in effect, a Random Act of Genealogical Kindness  ;D .

Cuppa consumed…..now to find the best way to preserve it.  Fortunately it’s not too big…..smaller than my iPad!
