I just finished making a chart of the DNA test results so far for the Bunkers being tested. We have a Devon Bunker haplotype which consists of 10 markers. If any male in the world DNA markers match those 10 markers he is a Bunker from Devon regardless what his name might be today. All right! Anyone with these 10 markers has a common ancestor that lived about 3000 years ago. Now that is not as close as we want to get but we already have the three Devon Bunkers who must have shared a common ancestor about 750 years ago. With more tests we will be able to narrow that down even more. That was in just 5 tests of Devon Bunkers. None of them matched 12/12 markers. If any do they will have a common ancestor within the last 250 years. One did not match 5 of the markers and it is proof that he is not a relative. That was my dad who is obviously not a descendant of James Bunker of Dover as we believed. Bye cousins. Guess we will just have to be kissers instead of kissin cousins. ;-) We will find more Bunkers that do not match anyone else. Do they cease to be Bunkers? Of course not. They just form their own branch of Bunkers. And we get to do more research to figure out who their first Bunker was. We have 4 more test kits out right now. One from a German American, one from Tingrith, one from Charlestown and one from NZ who is also a Devon descendant. We are waiting for the Tingrith one to come into the lab yet. The other three are there and I should get the results shortly. Any other men that want to join in? Go to the BFA website and follow the links to the DNA surname project. <http://www.bunkerfamilyassn.org> Bette
