Just recently I borrowed from the New England Historic Genealogy Society a manuscript dated 1990 by Robert J. Leach entitled Nantucket Quaker Genealogy, vol. 1. This manuscript is printed and is very difficult to read sometimes. I transcribed the records so that I could try to make some sense out of them. I have heard that is quite inaccurate but I don't know what the people saying it was inaccurate compared it with. Perhaps they have a copy of the early Nantucket Quaker records but I have not seen those. I will agree that they do not always agree with our database but then we have no sources for the information in our database most of the time. This is at least a source even if it is inaccurate to some degree. When the BFA gets contradicting information, we enter it anyway. If later we get an actual written record like a will, Bible, church record, or vital record we may change it or just indicate which one we feel is the most accurate. I have been doing genealogy over 45 years and it is not unusual to get conflicting official records for the same person. The recorders were not always accurate either. The thing I find most interesting about this manuscript of Leach's is that it gives the names of the fathers of the people that married Bunkers. And he indicates which generation it is from the immigrant. Because of copyright laws, I will NOT send anybody a copy of all the information that I copied. However, I will be happy to look up your Nantucket Bunker ancestor and tell you what the information is about that person. I am also going to use this to try to sort out the Coffins, Gardners, Barnards, Starbucks, Swains, etc. that intermarried with our family but have not done that. The manuscript goes down to the 6th generation. Let me know if you want me to look anything up. Bette
