I have corresponded with several people of late who believe there was an adoption back in their Bunker line. There is one way to figure this out and that is with the DNA surname test. Gil, after 30 or more years of searching learned that he came from the Bedford line. While we still have not found the connection with his PA ancestors, we have eliminated a lot which makes it easier. I have just acquired access to all the US censuses. If there is someone any of you want me to look up, please ask. I have been doing a lot with the 1930 census. It has an all name index which makes it easy to search. I am finding so many Bunkers that we do not have in the database. A nice thing with this census is that it lists the veterans so I am picking up World War I veterans and Spanish American War vets. With the added information of the people in their household, birthplace, etc. we are better able to find them in the database if they are there. I am combining this with the Bunkers listed on the Social Security Death Index and other state death indexes to which I have access and finding a lot of information about our family. Since Jan 2003, I have added 872 people to the database. I spend about 20 hours a week adding information and researching people for the BFA. That sounds like a lot but I do not watch much TV except the news and NASCAR races so have plenty of time after I teach seniors crafts, manage the senior center gift shop, work at the museum, do historical tours, and take care of the three dogs and one cat. I told you all that so no one tells me to get a life. ;-) I work harder now than I did when I got paid for it. Now though I love what I am doing. I used to love what I was doing but definitely did not like the people I worked with so this is much better. Great fun being retired. And the heat is gone in AZ, weather is great and we can count on another 8 months of it. Whoopee! Bette
