<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 4426669, member: 33"]There are genealogical and historical organizations that have collections of family Bibles. Sometimes they just have photocopies of the family information pages. Even if you keep the Bible, you may want to donate photocopies of pages to an organization that is local to the area where the people lived. Another possibility is an org that collects more widely.
