Does anyone know if there is a website where you can post details of unwanted family bibles or other personal items to enable them to be reunited with interested descendants? I ask because years ago I rescued a heavy and damaged family bible (not my family) from being turfed out with unsold jumble sale items. The details can be viewed on GR's Ryman name history board. Sadly those family names do not appear to have been submitted by GR members so I'm growing less hopeful of a reunion. Any ideas?
