	I don't know of any websites specifically for lost bibles, but there are quite a few sold on Ebay, so you could look there. Kath. x

	My mother remembered a family Bible, but we had no idea what had happened to it. By ringing round her cousins and their families, I located it and was so pleased that I could show Mum before she died. Ours had passed from Father( a widower ) to his eldest daughter, to her son then to HIS son. Yours may also be with a family of a different surname, but with a distant link. Gwyn
