Fred and Mary Bunker were his grandparents. His parents are Bruce and Sharon Bunker. His sibs were Laura, Bruce, Jr., and Joe with Joe the only one that seems to be married. Stephen was a member of the First Presbyterian Church at SE 15th Ave in Ft. Lauderdale. Since he was a member of the choir there, he probably was active in the church and his parents may be too. There are no Bunkers listed in the Ft. Lauderdale, FL phone book which seems a bit strange. Maybe they live in a suburb? There is no Bruce Bunker with a father named Fred in the 1930 census which leads me to believe that Bruce and Mary are probably rather young yet. With a son only 31 years old they could be in their 50s is all.

In case you need to find out the meaning of a genealogy term, this is a good site to check out. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~sam/terms.html Examples: ABATEMENT - the difference between the amount of the estate of an heir is to receive as specified in a will and the amount actually received, due to property devaluation between the time the will was made and when the death occurred; the entry of a stranger into the estate after the death of the possessor but before the heir or devisee can take control ABEYANCE - the condition of an estate which either has been claimed but not taken possession of, or which is liable to be claimed by someone AB INITIO - [Latin] "from the beginning"; used in reference to situations regarding the validity of a deed, marriage, estate, etc. AB INTESTATE - [Latin] the condition of inheriting from one who died without making a will Sally Rolls Pavia Sun City, AZ sallypavia2001@yahoo.com ”Mankind owes to the child the best is has to give.” List Owner: GENEALOGYBITSANDPIECES-L-request@rootsweb.com Archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/GENEALOGYBITSANDPIECES "All incoming and outgoing email checked by Norton Anti-Virus"

Is anyone related to/or has any information on William & Sarah and their son and his wife Samuel Bunker and Amelia Buckingham? Samuel and Amelia are my gg grandparents. My g grandfather was Samuel and my grandfather Arthur Leonard. Trying to find out exactly when Sarah died, as William married again in 1849 to Jane. And was he married 2 or 3 times? Any info on them and their families would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jane

I have a few ancestors from Nova Scotia and thought I would share some sites with those of you that have ancestors there too. The first one is not just Nova Scotia but has links to other Canadian provinces. http://www.islandnet.com/~jveinot/cghl/nova-scotia.html This is a good one too http://nsgna.ednet.ns.ca/ This one has some very good links for records and such http://www.genealogylinks.net/canada/nova_scotia/ This has some excellent military links http://www.genealogylinks.net/canada/nova_scotia/ Cemetery links http://www.idreamof.com/canada/cemetery/novascotia.html Here are some online census records. You will find them on the left side of the page in a little box below where it says links. Ignore the Ancestry search box on this site and some of the others. It is nice that Ancestry sponsors them but you do not have to search Ancestry on these pages. The pages have links below that search box. http://www.census-online.com/links/Canada/NS/ More cemetery links http://www.interment.net/can/ns/ Some passenger lists http://www.gendir.com/link_detail/2447 That's enough to get keep you out of trouble for awhile. Incidently, I found over 26,000 sites on the net by just putting in Nova Scotia genealogy in the search box. There is a lot of information out there. You just have to weed through it all. Bette

Many people believe that their ancestor came to America on the Mary and John in 1630 or at a later time. There have been many passenger lists published and many genealogies that state this for an absolute fact. The problem is that there are no known passenger lists for the Mary and John. Even the latest guess of who that passengers might have been admits there is a 50-70% chance of error. To see the latest guesses listed as "certain or highly probable", probable or possible go to http://www.maryandjohn1630.com/passengerlist.html This site will give you some links to other information about the Mary and John as well.

The Bunker Family Assn believes this William that married Sarah Greene was the son of George, b. 17 Jun 1648, Tingrith, Beds and grandson of Francis, b. 6 Apr 1617, Tingrith and his wife Tabitha Davey. However, as far as I know there are no records to support this as a certainty.

I started researching my family tree in Jan 2004. Didn't think it would be so addictive! I am related to the Bunker family via my mother Irene Bunker and the Bedfordshire Bunkers. I am currently trying to find William Bunker - born appx 1660 in Westoning, Beds and his parents/grandparents. There is no mention of this William on family search, rootsweb or in the parish register, just the William who moved to Topsfield. My William married Sarah Greene in 1688 in Westoning. They had four children - William b.1693, Alice b.1697, Henry b.1701 and Thomas b.1704. I believe William senior was buried in Westoning on July 3rd 1716. He was a parish clerk. Sarah died a pauper in 1737. I believe that William senior descends from Francis or Timothy Bunker, so if anyone can help me solve this mystery, or direct me to somewhere that may help, I would be grateful. Thanks, in advance.

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~t42cemeteries/Texas/Tarrant/MountOl ive/BUNKER_Wanda_T_1937-1974.JPG has a nice photo of Wanda T. Bunker buried in the cemetery at Mount Olive, Ft. Worth, Tarrant Co, Texas. Wanda was born in 1937 and died in 1974, the wife of a Bunker but I do not know who she was. Does anybody out there recognize her? This site has some nice photos of gravestones http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~t42cemeteries/ Quite a few are in Texas so those of you with Texas ties might try it for names other than Bunker. Wanda is the only Bunker there. Bette

People who find slave narratives interesting may like this website. It is interesting too in that it is about a slave who was brought to Connecticut rather than the South. He was captured in Africa in 1758 and gained his freedom by fighting in the Revolutionary War. http://docsouth.unc.edu/neh/brinch/brinch.html Bette

Hi Bette, As you know I am researching the PA Bunkers. In the information I have found about William's wife Elizabeth Monks, is that in 1820 William Bunker was listed adjacent to Henry Benn, Jr. Henry Benn, Jr. is Elizabeth's great uncle on her mother's side. The Benn family came to PA from Appoquinimink Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware. My basic question is: Are there any Bunker families in that area that might be the family (parents) of PA William? Henry Benn, Sr's oldest child Rebecca was born 16 April 1756 in Appoquinimink Hundred. Her younger sister Rachel, b. 14 Feb 1770 married William Munks/Monks. Their daughter Elizabeth married William Bunker, who is the PA William, whose progeny ended up in Iowa. Any help anywhere? Barbara Jarvis

I, as well as many others, have some super spam filters now so it is even more important that you put something that indicates a real person you are researching in the subject section of your message. Spammers daily pick our email addresses off the many genealogical sites where it has appeared. So, if you are sending me or anyone else a genealogical one that says, "need help" "looking for" or other non-descriptive terms is bound to be deleted without being read. If you are looking for an ancestor named John Gardner, put his name in the subject line. If you are looking for information about Waterloo, IA ancestors in 1850 and you don't really know the correct names you are looking for, put Gardners in IA 1850s or perhaps Iowa 1850s or something similar. I would immediately recognize it as a genealogical query and your message would not be deleted. I have three spam filters. The messages are diverted to a special site where all I do is look at the subject matter and the sender's name, but only when it is one I know is in my family. These filters divert from 30-70 messages a day. In the folder it only takes me a couple minutes to go through them. If the person sending the message has paid attention to the message they received and followed the instructions about my spam filter, the message has already hit my mailbox. But if it worries them or they do nothing it is in the spam filter folder and I might not recognize it unless it clearly looks like a query from a person I have not heard from before or recently. Since I maintain databases with nearly 50,000 names and have been doing research for over 40 years, I can sometimes be a gold mine for people. But first they have to get to me with a message that I can recognize as a query. Thanks for your help. I have received so much help from people on both of these lists and I know many others have too.
