Before 1858 English wills were proved at a variety of church courts, the
main one being the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. There were local
courts such as Archdiaconal Courts and Peculiars. From the beginning of
1858 all English wills have been proved at the Principal Probate
Registry. The pre-1858 wills have now nearly all been indexed and can
be searched online by going to

I cut and pasted the URL for the DNA and surname article so it should be
correct. However, try this http://www.bbc.co.uk This is their homepage.
In the search box click on BBCi only and type in surnames genealogy and that

SAY IT WITH PICTURES. Unlike RootsWeb Mailing Lists, which do not
permit attachments, you can attach pictures or scanned images to
messages you post on any RootsWeb/Ancestry board message. The potential
uses of such attachments are endless. Post a transcription of a will,
deed, or family Bible record and add a scan of the image of the original
record for others to view and download.
Perhaps you have unidentified family photos you would like to upload so
that others might view, and possibly identify,

You are correct. The marriage date was 1753 and most likely my inability to
read Leach's handwriting. However, in the next generation I read it as
1753.
Children of Abishai Bunker and Dinah Coffin were Abishai b. 1754, and Miriam
b. 1755. Abishai then married Hephzibah Allen in 1757 and they had Thaddeus
b. 1758 according to Leach. The Bunker Family Assn. database also shows
Hephzibah Bunker b. 1761 and Hezikiah b. 1762 after Abishai died.
Thanks for the assist. This was very hard to read and I need a

Have you tried the Family History Radio show on the computer? It is an
interesting way to learn about genealogical research.
http://www.familyhistoryradio.com
They are having a virtual genealogy conference in June. While I will be in
Dover at the time, it will stay up long enough for me to access it when I
get back. The radio show is free and you can access previous ones on their

The 1920 census lists 3 Bunkers in the overseas services.

secretary at the YMCA in Bendorf, Germany
Phillip Bunker, a private in the Army stationed at Ft. William McKinley in
the Philippines, age 36 b. NH, parents b. NH. I am unable to identify him.

This one has been around before. Do NOT follow the instructions below, as

Every week I get the Rootsweb Review newsletter. Rootsweb still has a lot
of records to access free in spite of their merger with Ancestry.com. The
Rootsweb Review is valuable because it lists the new websites where you may
find information that you are looking for. You usually do not get referred
to these websites when you are searching Ancestry or Genealogy.com. This
week their are lists of sites with Civil War burials in CN, yearbooks in
Phoenix, AZ, history sites, Canadian sites and many more. To
