If you would like Dutch transcription help, there are some great resources:

There is a series of "Reading Dutch Birth, Marriage, and Death records, but these are civil records. But the handwriting tips and samples may be helpful. https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/img_auth.php/0/05/1-NL_Civil_Registration_Birth_Records-Instruction.pdf

 

In older records you may find Latin entries, so check out the Latin word list.

 

There are video tutorials:

thanks

unfortunately I have thousands of family bibles - - see:

http://yanceyfamilygenealogy.org/family_bible_chasers.htm

 

so I dont have the time to focus on the effort of a difficult transcription of just one -

but rely on others who are helping me. . . especially others in the community.
