HOME PAGE

The following are only family record pages from a Bible, (Not the Bible itself) given to me by my father,  James Claud Greening in 1976 when I started researching my family. These pages were folded, wrapped in a cellophane wrap and stuck in an envelope and were in an old briefcase belonging to his father, T. J. Greening. This old briefcase was given to my Dad by his mother when she broke up housekeeping in 1949, and went to live with her daughter Lola Frances Greening Hancock family.
I copied these onto family group sheets and put the original pages away. They are very fragile, even more faded, and crumbling now. Two small pieces have since been lost somehow.
