Some of the most useful, and often the most elusive, records for 19th century families are Bible Records or family papers. There are many genealogy organizations and web sites that collect these records so that they are accessible to other researchers.
The Chula Vista Genealogical Society has received family research papers, including Bible pages, from two estates to date (one stored in boxes at a member's garage, the other in a file cabinet at the library). Other societies and repositories have many of these types of records hidden away in a file cabinet where they cannot do a lot of good to other researchers unless they thumb through the file cabinet or box on a shelf (or worse) somewhere.
Here are family records from copies of Bible pages (note that they are not the original pages) removed from a family Bible (Bible edition, publication date, original ownership and provenance unknown). In addition, at least one of the previous "owners" of these pages has handwritten additional data on the copy of the pages so I don't know exactly when they were added.
