Hello All,
I am trying to connect William S. Bonk to my family tree. He is buried in the same cemetery as some of our Bonk relatives in Southern California. This is the information we have.
William S. Bonk, age 54, 4 months, 20 days, August 24, 1946 (date of interment) Illinois, cause of death carcinoma of Pancreas. (est bday 4 Apr 1892)

Also in this cemetery are:
Peter Bonk, age 85, 5 months, 10 dates Date of interment April 23, 1928, Germany (est bday 13 Dec 1842)
buried next to Peter is Johanna Bonk, age 66, 8 months, 25 days Nov 14, 1923, Germany (est bday 19 Feb 1857)

Erdine Bonk age 48, 11 days July 20, 1945, shipped from Nampa, Idaho. (Est birth year 1897)

These are all from the Sextants records. Would anyone have these people in their family tree?? Fanny Luitje Bonk's daughter was named Johanna also, she married Robert Wickey. Fanny is also buried in this cemetery so I am wondering if Johanna wife of Peter was a sister in law or relation. Fanny Luitje Bonk was married to Geike Janssen Bonk who had no siblings but plenty of cousins from Simonswolde.
Thanks,
Karen in Iowa
