[quote=Anonymous]OP, please hang onto it since there is information written in another language. You might consider having it translated right now and put that translation in an archive-worthy box with the family Bible, saving it for your DD in the coming years.

If your DD grows up and still does not want it after she has had her own children, then she can dispose of it - hopefully donating it to a cultural society or museum. But give her a chance to grow into it. Not from religious perspective at all, simply because it has family history written in the family’s native language.

My maternal grandmother had her family Bible and I would love to have it today. Some other relative swooped in after my grandfather died and took it. I wonder if it even exists now. Somebody probably tossed it eventually. I don’t care about the religious content, but I would love to look at the notations and handwriting of my ancestors. How cool would that be?! Please don’t give this away - because once it’s gone, it’s gone forever.[/quote]
