I am such a bad genealogist. Better than I used to be. But still not so good at keeping notes on everything I acquire. I’m excusing myself on this one because it was before I knew better.
I received these copies of pages from a Coates family Bible from someone at sometime. My Aunt Wilma may have sent them to me. I don’t know who has the Bible or when the copies were made. If you know something I don’t, please fill me in.

Loving those bible pages! What a treasure.
Glad I have them. Now I’m trying to identify all the different handwriting.
these pages look familiar, but I don’t know who has the bible either
It might be my cousin Steve. I’ll have to ask him.
I love your information. I just noticed that your Nellie Coats and my grandmother Hattie Rosa Bryan (Fisher) have the same birthdays. February 3, 1912. They are the last sisters in each family it looks like.
Nellie died 1999 and my grandma Hattie Rosa Bryan died July 12, 2009. Ten years apart. Also my grandma Hattie also had a sister named Nellie Bryan.
