Updated May 23, 1999, with information from the owner of the original Bible.
Updated February 25, 2007 and June 18, 2007, with additional information
The Bible was submitted by a member of the Lanark County Genealogical Society. The transcription is taken from four colour photocopied pages of entries. The pages are ornately engraved “Family Record” pages, evidently from a Bible, but there is no indication as to the Bible’s age, etc. Entries are arranged in two columns on each page. The colour copies show that some dates were added at a later time than the original entries. Note how the spelling of the family name evolves from “Mcfarlane” to “McFarlane” then to “MacFarlane“.
The photocopied pages are accompanied by a computer-generated descendant report which contains more complete information about this family. Additional information from this report has been added to the Bible entries and [put in brackets].
