This one is a problem. Since both Goebel and Beyer are so often misspelled I tried several variations. Most Goebels I found in Indiana and in the Ft. Wayne paper. Most of the things in the paper were about the trial for the shooting of William Goebel in Ky. He was an Indiana native though I believe and was shot by a senator when William ran for Gov. Interesting. I found in the Ft. Wayne, IN paper 4 Sep 1900 an obituary for Mrs. Mary Goebel. She was survived by two daughters, Margaret and Regina. Don't know if that sounds like it might be her. Her parents name was not Beyer though. There were both Goebels and Bauers in Indiana. Henry Goebel married Sophia Bauer in Indiana in 1856. I found a reference to Henry Goebel as the secretary treasurer of the Ft. Wayne Business School in 1897. I am afraid this is not much help. Whenever you are looking for people in the Chicago area you need to look in Indiana as so many crossed the line to be married there. With these two names you need to do soundex searches as the spelling is all over the place. I suspect the record is there someplace but misspelled. There are no Chicago area newspapers on line as yet but there are numerous Indiana ones. I checked also birth, death and marriage records for Henry Goebel from 1850-1910 in every state. I am sending this to the list so maybe others can help too.

Could you please look for anything...marriage, birth, death... For Henry Goebel and Mina Beyer between mid 1899 to February 1901 in Chicago, Ill (Lake Forest area). They married sometime 1899 or 1900, she died late January 1901. Thanks again for your generous offer.

I have been having a great time messing around in it trying to see how to best search it. The best way is by using a first name to go with Bunker. That way we do not get Bunker Hills all over the place and I haven't gotten a reference to a war bunker yet or golf bunker either. Keeping in mind that most of these papers were published in the 1900's, I will be happy to look up anyone you would like me to. I looked up my grandfather and found 153 entries. He was a perfectly ordinary man. The biggest share of the entries had to do with him being visited or visiting someone. Still, in the process I have also found several obituaries, references to accidents, jobs and businesses, weddings and births. It is easier if you know the place to look. Even the state will narrow down the hits some. Let me know if you want me to look up someone. Bette ==== BUNKER Mailing List ==== Post your information and queries. We love it.

In my opinion, that's why Soundex was invented! When you said you'd look up anyone I thought you meant just any Bunker. But - another good way to search is for the maiden name of a Bunker wife.

Of course, I search with soundex but soundex does not always pick up all the spelling variations and when some are not I try those too.
