Larry, I'm working on that exact same thing right now. We inhereted a big box of pictures from my wife's grandparents (wife was only grandchild, and her parents are gone) and many of them were not labeled. After asking all of the old timers in the neighborhood, we have them about 95% identified, and had a blast doing it. Lots of good stories went along with each ID. It worked out good, because the family has been rooted in a 10 mile circle for 175 years. It got us interested in her family history, and we're documenting that also. My two sons are getting mildly interested, enough to recognize the names of their long dead ancestors. In this modern world, it's easy and cheap to give everyone a copy, providing they're interested, of course.
For the bible - I copied the "family" pages from my grandmother's bible and distributed them to all of my siblings. They all flat out stated that they did not want to be responsible for the old bible, but they do appreciate the family history written in it. Just today I transcribed and scanned the family notes from my wife's great-grandfather's bible (born in 1863). I'm e-mailing the info to my sons, and they each have a folder they store them in. Surely all three houses won't burn at once, ha!
