HELP. Can anybody identify Richard Bunker , soldier , date of birth rather elastic probably around 1800. He married , wife unknown and had a son Julius born about 1837 in Castlebar in Ireland. who also became a soldier. Bunkers in the north of England were practically unknown at this time so the odds are stacked heavily that he was born in the south of England unless, of course, his father too was a soldier in which case he could have been born almost anywhere. Brian Bunker.

Barbara Faughnan sent this to me today. Does anyone know who this man's family is? Bette This morning on a interactive spot of the NY Times web site, I saw that there is a Scott Bunker going to the Olympics... ____________________________________________ Check out the Bunker Family Association. http://www.bunkerfamilyassn.org.

Dick Eastman in his newsletter this week recommended this site for ship's passenger lists. Good site. You can read Dick's newsletter free at http://www.eogn.com The passenger lists are at http://www.immigrantships.net/. At the tope of the page is an Ancestry search box as it hosts this free site.

If you are unsuccessful in getting the above to work, click on the link below: http://www.prge.lib.md.us/Databases/HomeDbase.html When that page is displayed, click on "America's Obituaries and Death Notices".

Virus Purporting Bin Laden Suicide Hits Web SEATTLE (Reuters) - A virus purporting to show images of Osama Bin Laden's suicide popped up on the Internet on Friday, designed to entice recipients to open a file that unleashes malicious software code, security experts said. The virus was attached to a message that was posted on over 30,000 usenet newsgroups and is not being spread via e-mail, said Web security vendor Sophos. **************************************************************************** *************** The article goes on to say that it unleashes a Trojan that makes it possible to take over infected personal computers running Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating system. This has already been on the net but has been repackaged in the hopes we will be lured to look at Bein Ladin's alleged suicide. Update your virus protection. Watch out. These Trojan's are really rough as they do not come in your email or as an attachment. Bette

http://www.familytreedna.com/faq2.html has an explanation of the method for figuring out the most recent common ancestor when your Y-DNA matches another. You can see that the more markers that match, the closer the common ancestor. The Bunker Family Assn. uses the 12 marker test but any of our participants can increase their number of markers tested by paying an additional fee. It does not require a new sample. They use the one they already have. If you are interested in DNA testing http://www.familytreedna.com has a lot of information and links to other pages for even more. If you are a male and born a Bunker, we are looking for more participants all the time. We get a discount as we are part of a project. If you are interested let me know. Bette

Sometimes we forget to tell others about some very basic stuff. RootsWeb Review this week had this which some of you may not know about. 1c. TIPS FROM READERS: Searching a Large Page of Many Names? Thanks to C. C. Traylor Afraid you will miss the one name you're hunting on a page? Solution: In many programs look at the top left of the computer screen (monitor) and click on EDIT, which will provide a drop-down menu. Select FIND ON THIS PAGE, which gives you a small box with a search window. Enter the search word or words in the window and hit ENTER. The search will find all the words on that page that you requested -- one by one. Browse: To view the entire contents of a file or a group of files. Search: To look for specific data or occurrence of text in a file. When you are browsing you can use the find on this page feature listed above. When searching, you will see a box for you to type something in and then click search or go. When searching use of keywords can really help. For instance, say I am looking for Joe Blow in Hackensack, NJ. The search box lets me put in his name and the state but Joe Blow is a pretty common name. I can narrow the search by putting Hackensack in the keyword box. There are a lot of uses for this. Try anything and you may surprise yourself with success. Brand-new mailing lists can be found under OTHER/MISCELLANEOUS until moved to their proper categories. For information and an index to the more than 28,200 RootsWeb-hosted genealogy Mailing Lists and for easy subscribing (joining) options go to: http://lists.rootsweb.com/ When searching the net for a person, put the name in quotes like "Joe Blow" and it will give you only those instances where the two words are next to each other. You will be absolutely amazed at what is out there about you and your person. Don't forget state archives. They have a wealth of information and much online data. Go to your home page and in the search box put in the name of the state and then library or state archives. You may have to try both and some states have both. University libraries also are online and have lots of good information. For places, try searching for the name like Tucson, Arizona history, and also try the US National Monument or Park Service history pages for many, many places. In AZ, we have a National Park historian that has translated and put online the earliest records in AZ (Tumacacori National Park http://www.nps.gov/tuma/home.htm). Bette

Wonderful website Jane. Thanks for letting us know about it. It should help a lot of Americans looking to connect with their English immigrant ancestors. We have many that we cannot connect with any early immigrant to the US and I am certain that most of them are in this bunch or from Devon that immigrated to the US after 1700.
