Nissley / Stauffer family Bible - Lancaster Co, PA
No relation.While browsing eBay, I came across a family Bible with the following information that I've transcribed from photos that the seller posted.
Appears to be the Bible of Maria (Stauffer)(Nissley) Eby by account of hand-written notes and newspaper obits.
