Subject: Massachusetts Vital Records to 1850

The New England Historic Genealogical Society is copying the Massachusetts
Vital Records to 1850 and putting them online. So far not all the cities
have been transcribed but they are up to over 4,000 records that mention the
name Bunker. A lot of these come from "P.R" which means a private record
which may have been a family Bible or other record kept by the family. Even
so, it is a great source. Their website is http://www.nehgs.org you need
to be a member to view the records but someone interested in searching in
Massachusetts and other New England states may find it is worthwhile to
become a member.

Incidentally, they have over 300 records that mention both George and Bunker
and over 500 that mention both William and Bunker. As with other computer
searches this does not necessarily mean that you will see a record for
William Bunker. And some of the Bunkers found may be Bunker Hill.
