I have some important information for anyone interested in the OLNEY family. I received an email from a woman who found my Hatfield website and she asked me if I wanted copies from an OLNEY family bible that had information on the family of Mathias Hatfield in it. I told her yes.

The woman, who knows the owner of the bible, went to where the bible is located and took photos of the bible and sent them to me, as her "genealogical act of kindness." She is not related to the families listed in the bible. I have transcribed the information contained in the bible and I am sharing the information and images in the hope that another researcher might find this OLNEY family information helpful to their own research.

I believe that this bible information is information that has never been shared before.

The bible is an original bible dated 1883 and was a given as a gift in 1887. The last notation in the bible appears to be 1919. The bible contains family information on primarily the OLNEY and Hatfield families. I do NOT know how the OLNEY and Hatfield family are related.

I posted all the information from the bible on a website at

http://hometown.aol.com/cmelaine/page1.html

The photos on the website are not very large. If you would like to see larger photos and all the photos of this bible, go to http://community.webshots.com/user/elaine5171

If you are connected to the OLNEY family then I encourage you to study the information on the webpage.

I have no more information other than what I've posted on the website. I have no more photos of this bible. I do not own the bible. I am not related to the Mathias Hatfield family.
