BIBLES with FAMILY RECORDS - AROUND THE WORLD

BIBLES with FAMILY RECORDS - AROUND THE WORLD
 
Here in North America, even from colonial times, it was quite common for
families to have kept a FAMILY BIBLE. with inscriptions documenting the
family births, deaths and marriages. This tradition lasted many
decades, even until the beginning of the 20th century in many cases.
 
In some other countries (especially those with British/German/Dutch classification)
this tradition has also prevailed in certain periods of time.

In other countries there have been other traditions and different ways of preserving
family records.

A few questions:

1) In your country of origin, nationality or ethnic origin, have records been kept in 
family bibles?

2) What other similar traditions are you familiar with in terms of
to how families preserved their family vital records?
