If your name is Bunker and you are a male, consider joining our surname DNA
project.
Does anyone have any information on this family? Virginia was my great-grandmother. I was also wondering what line of Bunkers this is and where they originated.
VIRGINIA8 BUNKER (JOHN GILMAN LOVEJOY7, BARNEY HILL6, JOHN L5, ISAAC4, BENJAMIN3, JAMES2, JAMES1)1 was born February 1894 in Maine1, and died February 16, 1973 in Maine1. She married EDMUND HOLLIS WEBBER1 in Maine1, son of BENJAMIN WEBBER and ELIZABETH LELAND. He was born in Maine1, and died May 05, 1962 in Bar Harbor, Maine1.

Henry Bunker looked for years for his "connection" to one of the three
Bunkers who were in America in the 1600s. One of his descendants has had
his DNA tested and that line is a Devon line. We do not know if it was
connected to James of Dover or a later immigrant from Devon, but there is no
doubt this line is a Devon line.
Henry was the BFA genealogist for many years, author of Bunker Family
History and with others, did the 1982 revision of the Bunker Genealogy. Too

Virus Purporting Bin Laden Suicide Hits Web
SEATTLE (Reuters) - A virus purporting to show images of Osama Bin Laden's

The virus was attached to a message that was posted on over 30,000 usenet

HELP. Can anybody identify Richard Bunker , soldier , date of birth rather elastic probably around 1800. He married , wife unknown and had a son Julius born about 1837 in Castlebar in Ireland. who also became a soldier.
Bunkers in the north of England were practically unknown at this time so the odds are stacked heavily that he was born in the south of England unless, of course, his father too was a soldier in which case he could have been born almost anywhere.
Brian Bunker.

that some libraries' genealogy depts. have surname files for some

Wonderful website Jane. Thanks for letting us know about it. It should
help a lot of Americans looking to connect with their English immigrant
ancestors. We have many that we cannot connect with any early immigrant to
the US and I am certain that most of them are in this bunch or from Devon
that immigrated to the US after 1700. Bette

another. You can see that the more markers that match, the closer the
common ancestor.
The Bunker Family Assn. uses the 12 marker test but any of our participants
can increase their number of markers tested by paying an additional fee. It
does not require a new sample. They use the one they already have.
