Here is a site that has Utah newspaper articles from 1800's and 1900's. http://www.lib.utah.edu/digital/unews/ Bette

Here is a database with Canadian naturalization certificates published in Canada Gazette 1915-1932. http://www.genealogy.gc.ca/01/010203_e.html The first result is on the names with the specific spelling like Taylor. The 2nd result is all the names beginning with Ta which you should be sure to search as that will pick up many of the misspelled names. Although this does not have any connection to genealogy, historians might find it interesting. The Gutenberg Bible is online and the site has other interesting links as well. http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/exhibitions/permanent/gutenberg/ The images of the pages themselves is under the link Digital Gutenberg images. The state of Illinois has added a global search feature. Now you can search all their databases with only one query. http://www.sos.state.il.us/GenealogyMWeb/globsrch.html Be sure to read the instructions before searching on this one. It is faster to do a surname search than one for someone with both names listed and you must put a comma after the surname even if you do not list a given name. The results list every database in which the name appears. Then you need to click on that database. This requires another search query with the comma after the surname. This is a really good search site for Illinois records. Florida has a database for its World War I participants' service cards. These cards have a lot of information. http://www.floridamemory.com/Collections/WWI/ Bette

Hi all: Updates of the social security death index seem to be an extremely non-linear process. That's a bold statement, so I'll offer a small degree of justification for the claim ... A distant cousin of mine passed away in Wisconsin Rapids, Wood Co., Wis. in early March, 2003. Individual: Leondo Franz Birth: Feb. 09, 1917 Death: March 01, 2003 SSN: 394-26-2568 (issued in Wisconsin) My father died in Stevens Point, Portage Co., Wisconsin in early April, 2003. Individual: Herbert A. Kippenhan Birth: March 23, 1918 Death: April 06, 2003 SSN: 398-10-8211 (issued in Wisconsin) Leondo's social security death index info. has been available since sometime in late April. The info. for my father wasn't available until late last week. The real question in this is *why* it took twice as long for his information to appear as it did for the info. about Leondo Franz. The two cities are no more than 35 miles apart and are handled by the same Social Security offices. It sure makes one wonder what the work flow is like at that place. I have another test case in the works - both natives of Wisconsin. Dorothy (nee Vollrath) Irvine - d: June 28, 2003 Price Davis - d: July 10, 2003 We'll see if the same sort of skew in SSDI updates occurs again. Best regards H.A.

I noticed a posting by a Snyder to the Bunker list - my gg grandmother Bunker married a Snyder in the Gouldsboro Maine area. I have little to no information on the Snyder ancestors. Any Bunkers out there with connections to this group? This gg grandfather was John Henry Snyder born in Franklin, Maine, in 1838 Diane

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Alms House Records with Ships Names 1855-1858 (New York Resent-Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2003 13:11:26 -0600 Resent-From: PAGENWEB-L@rootsweb.com Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2003 15:07:11 -0400 From: "Lorine McGinnis Schulze" <otg@csolve.net> Reply-To: otg@csolve.net Organization: Olive Tree Genealogy To: PAGENWEB-L@rootsweb.com Hello everyone, New York City was a very busy port for ships. One of the difficult things about searching for ancestors arriving there is that the ships passenger lists aren't indexed from 1847 to 1896. However I've been working on a project to transcribe the Alms House Admission Foreigners & Nativity Records ( New York City, NY) Bond Registers 1855-1858. These records contain the names of individuals who were impoverished, and who sought help at the Almshouse. The transcribed records contain the place of birth of each individual as well as the name of the ship they sailed on to reach N. America. The year of arrival is also noted, and the ports of departure and arrival. This is a wonderful resource for the unindexed NY years! Dating back to the colonial era, New York City assumed responsibility for its citizens who were destitute, sick, homeless, or otherwise unable to care for themselves. The city maintained an almshouse, various hospitals, and a workhouse on Blackwell's Island (now called Roosevelt Island) for the poor. The information fields are: Date of Admission, Name, Age, Nativity, Time of Arrival, Port Sailed From, Port Arrived At, Ship, Captain, Married or Single, Who Can Identify Them, How Many Times on The Island, Remarks The index to the records can be found at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/ships/ny_alms1855.htm Here is an example of the kinds of information found in the Almshouse records: In Mar 1856 John Coleman, age 15, single, from Ireland applied for relief. He told the clerk of the Almshouse that sailed from Liverpool on the Ship Ontario, arriving on 19 Dec. 1855 in New York. He didn't know the Captain's name, and had no one to vouch for him from New York City. It was his first time 'on the island" (meaning applying for relief). He was discharged in April 1856 Sometimes comments were added in the column for death or discharge dates. For example, poor Bridget Connor applied for relief on Apr 30, 1855. Bridget, 26, a spinster from Ireland told the clerk she sailed "about 20 months ago" from Tralee to Quebec. Bridget gave her ship name as Payoo or Payne, Captain O'Donohan commanding. This was her third time on the island,and the clerk recorded "Stupid" beside her discharge date of 16 Jan. '57 (If you find an ancestor with such a notation, or "insane" , don't be alarmed - sometimes not knowing how to add was enough to be labelled as "stupid"!) The places of origin and of arrival are not all New York. Ports of arrival include Quebec, Boston, NY, Philadelphia, New Orleans, and more. Places of origin include Ireland, Gilbraltar, Germany, England, Canada, Switzerland, Holland and more Start your search of these free records at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/ships/ny_alms1855.htm Surnames F, M, Mc, S and W were added today. A big thank you goes to volunteer Nancy Profit for her hard work in transcribing those surnames. This set of records adds to the existing records I have already transcribed and put online for the NYC Almshouse for 1819-1827 (with 1828 to 1840 to follow) starting at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/ny_alms1819.shtml I hope you enjoy this set of records; it's great fun reading and transcribing these wonderful entries! **Please feel free to forward this message to anyone you think might be interested** Lorine http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/filmnos_newyork.sh tml NARA & FHC film numbers for NY passenger lists after 1820 http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/tousa_ny.shtml Passenger Lists to New York all years http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/searchnyships.shtml Search Engine for online Internet Passenger Lists to NY

I recently returned from a vacation in Deer Isle, Maine and, as usual, was up to my ears in library-visiting while there. One treasure I found was the Archives of the Deer Isle-Stonington Historical Society. There were the entire notebook collection of Dr. Benjamin Lake Noyes of Stonington, Maine, who collected these extensive notes and genealogies of local residents during the 1930s. There were 44 large notebooks filled with his work. A considerable amount was collected on the Bunkers descended from James of Dover, NH. He was in communication with Edward C. Moran, Jr. about the Bunkers and much of this was shared with him. Is most of this available elsewhere to researchers of the Bunker line? Or, is this something I should attempt to share with interested parties? Carol C. Eddleman closest Bunker realative is Leora Bunker (Minn.)

History guide is a good source for learning the history of the place you are looking for your relatives. http://www.historyguide.de/start.php You always need to know the history of the area and era. It does no good looking for a photograph of your Revolutionary War ancestor but you can waste a whole lot of time on that if you don't know that cameras were not invented until the mid-1800's.

The following article was in the current RootsWeb Review e-magazine. I thought it might be of interest to those of us trying to keep our Bunker cemeteries cleaned up. Exploring All Options By Betty B. bjrb@hotmail.com A year ago, a group of us with ancestors buried in an 1855 cemetery in south-central Texas decided to clean up and restore this historical site. We asked the county what help it could give. It was short of funds, and could offer no monetary assistance, but what the judge did do was to give us the assistance of nonviolent adult probationers sentenced to do so many hours of community service as a condition of probation. At first they worked two Saturdays per month, but they now work every Saturday. Today the cemetery is looking great. By posting messages to the various surname message boards of those known to be buried there, much informa- tion has been collected and the descendants of others are willing to collect funds to have their ancestors' stones cleaned, repaired and reset. Where there is a will, there is a way. It may come from the Scouts or from unexpected sources. All options should be explored.

I am posting this item in case someone on this list actually cares about source material... This is a page taken from a rather hefty probate file handling the affairs of the minor heirs of John & Sybilla WUNDER. I own the ORIGINALS (not xerox copies) which I purchased from the Muscatine Co IA Genealogical society a few years back. When Muscatine Co microfilmed all these records they were going to destroy the originals because they didn't want to pay to store them. The MCGS got wind of this and asked if they could have the documents rather than having them be destroyed, and they received them. To raise money, the society decided to sell the packets of originals and I rescued this particular packet because one of the minor children was part of my GRIMM family tree. I never really studied this packet or the one of Daniel Grimm Sr. (which I also purchased) until someone from this list challenged me in regards to the name of Andrew Melville Bunker's son Andrew J. Bunker (sorry folks, I've got a lot of documents on this man and not one lists him as Andrew Melville Jr. or as Andrew M.--all as either Andrew (no middle initial listed), Andrew J. and A.J., including multiple listings in the aforementioned GRIMM probate file (as AJ was married to Daniel's daughter) At any rate I digress...In the WUNDER file I found a treasure trove item for anyone working on the Andrew Melville Bunker line: This does not appear to be a "legal" document but the worksheet the attorney who was handling the estate made up in order to complete the legal documents regarding the disbursement of the real estate. The file then contains the legal documents related to the minor children's share of the estate, who were all grandchildren of John & Sybilla. Note that the "list 1" refers to the children of John & Sybilla Wunder who were: Eva, Anne, Elizabeth (Lizzie), Mary (Mattie), Charles (married to Lizzie Grimm), John and Lena.

I just joined the list after reviewing the archives. I am NOT a Bunker descendant, but my great great grandfather's sister Catherine "Kate" Grimm married into that famous Andrew Melville Bunker clan, to his son Andrew J. Bunker. Since I also run a website for Muscatine Co IA genealogy, I have also emassed a bit on the Andrew Melville Bunker group, which I will post as time permits or if anyone has questions about descendants. I have, while reviewing the archives spotted a couple of items which I want to comment on, with no disrespect to the original posters (we all know genealogy is an inexact science in many cases) 1) somewhere way back in the list archives it was noted that Francis W. "Frank" Bunker was born in Walcott, IA which is in Scott Co. According to his burial record from the Moore Funeral Home in Newton IA he was born in Muscatine Co IA (it was pretty detailed, had both his parents correctly listed as well as their places of birth). It is my OPINION that Francis W, like the next sibling in the family (Andrew J.) was most likely born in Fulton Twp, Muscatine Co. which is not very far from the Muscatine/Scott Co line. Francis W. died 26 Apr 1935 in Newton, Jasper, IA and is buried at the Newton Union Cemetery. The Moore Funeral Home records were at last check held by REESE Funeral Home in Newton. I happened upon Frank while trying to figure out why Andrew J. & Catherine would have had children born in Kellogg, IA. 2) in a Dec 2002 post appeared this item from the 1930 Census Lee C. Bunker (RN21232) age 39 b. Iowa with his parents born in Iowa was also a WW veteran. He was living in Minneapolis and was a chiropractor. He was the son of Andrew Melville Bunker. Our database does not give any information about him except his name so this is new information for us This gentleman was NOT a son of Andrew Melville Bunker. He was a GRANDSON of Andrew Melville. His father was Andrew J. Bunker who married Catherine "Kate" Grimm. I will be posting this branch shortly. Lee C. Bunker's wife was Gertrude. ( I THINK her maiden name may be Walker but am waiting confirmation on that). In researching them you will find listed two children James Edward Bunker and Lois Bunker, BUT these are adopted children. The children belonged to Gertrude's sister. A third sibling Helen remained with her father (surname not known, but she is listed in James Edward's obituary as Helen NELSON) Lee and Gertrude did not have children of their own, only the two they adopted. According to Lee's sister, Rena Hart Bunker, as of 1971 Lee had the Bunker family bible but he died in 1976 in Sun City Arizona and nobody seems to know now where that Bible went. Rena died in 1979. The adopted son James Edward died in Minneapolis in 2002. I'm trying to locate his descendants via the sketchy info in his obit to see if any of THEM ended up with the ellusive Bunker Bible. More later. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.497 / Virus Database: 296 - Release Date: 7/4/2003

I received this from another mailing list and thought perhaps one of the Bunker members might be interested in VA also. Mary-Gene Fellow genealogists/researchers, Please consider signing this petition for the protection/preservation of "Neglected, Abandoned and Unlicensed Cemeteries in the State of Virginia", particularly if you are researching your own genealogy originating from Virginia. Also, please consider passing this along to others who may be interested in signing such as other genealogists, historians, heritage groups, VFW groups, etc. Thank you for your support and assistance and my apologies to those who may receive this email more than once via the multiple Rootsweb lists that I am subscribed to and have forwarded this to. Sincerely, Sheri Millikin http://www.PetitionOnline.com/hnvr2003/petition.html To: Virginia's lawmakers (General Assembly & Senate of Virginia) We the undersigned request the approval of the Proposed Legislation on Neglected, Abandoned and Unlicensed Cemeteries in the State of Virginia. This proposed act, which may be cited as the "Neglected, Abandoned and Unlicensed Cemetery Act" (proposed/noted as Chapter 3, Article 22A, § 57-22A-1), reads in part the following: (a) The care accorded the remains of deceased persons reflects respect and regard for human dignity as well as cultural, spiritual, and religious values. The General Assembly declares that human remains and burial objects are not property to be owned by the person or entity which owns the land or water where the human remains and burial objects are interred or discovered, but human remains and burial objects are a part of the finite, irreplaceable, and nonrenewable cultural heritage of the people of Virginia which should be protected. (b) It is the intent of the General Assembly that the provisions of this chapter be construed to require respectful treatment of human remains in accord with the equal and innate dignity of every human being and consistent with the identifiable ethnic, cultural, and religious affiliation of the deceased individual as indicated by the method of burial or other historical evidence or reliable information. We ask the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia to approve this proposed legislation to protect all private/family/non-profit cemeteries, particularly those cemeteries which are no longer on property owned by family members, but still frequently visited by family members, researchers, genealogists, and/or historians. These cemeteries contain the remains of Virginia's forebearers. Men, women and children, all who made great sacrifices in a variety of ways to the Commonwealth of Virginia. Many of these cemeteries contain the remains of Native Indians, founders of many areas within Virginia, African-born slaves and their descendants, Revolutionary War heroes and other war Veterans having served in such wars as the War of 1812, War Between the States/Civil War, World War I and even World War II. Please show them the due respect and decency they deserve and approve this proposed legislation so they may, once again, rest in peace.
