The first thing to notice about this book is that it is in English. Book Decor specializes in foreign language books so when I get a book in English it is very rare. But the thing that makes this book really special is not that it's in English. Between the Old and New Testament we have a family record! The first marriage recorded is in April 1858. The family name is Rosen. We then have births in 1859, 1861, 1862, 1865, 1866, 1868, 1869, 1870, and 1873. Whoa! The next marriage recorded wasn't until 1886! There were also a few deaths recorded as well. It's hard to make out the names so I'm going to assume it was dear old grandma or grandpa passing away at some ripe old age after a very long and happy life. Some of the first names are Caroline Adelaide, Beatrice, Isabella, David, Victor, Hugo, and Leopold. All Rosen's.
