The Bunker Family Association has published an extensive array of materials to aid those interested in sharing Bunker genealogical data and to help preserve the Bunker heritage for impending generations.
Our newest project is the completion of a CD–to be ready for Christmas 2008–on Bedfordshire Bunkers. This CD shows the descendants of Roger Bunker, Tingrith, Bedfordshire, England. These include George Bunker of Charlestown, Massachusetts, George Bunker of Nantucket, and those connected, through DNA testing to this family. These are descendants of Thomas Bunker and Clarissa Chamberlin, Samuel Bunker and Almire Goodwin, and Joseph Bunker (b. about 1797 in St. Albans, UK) and Mary. The newest CD also includes parish records (except Devon included on the 2007 CD) copied to date, military service records from all Bunker families, ships named Bunker Hill with photos and histories, and numerous images and photographs.
Price on the latest CD is $22.50 (which includes postage). Mail check or money order to Bette Richards, 1655 W. Ajo #399, Tucson, AZ 85713.
The new Bedfordshire Bunkers CD is the second CD produced by the BFA. In 2007, BFA genealogist Bette Bunker Richards completed a compact disc on Devon Bunkers. The Devon Bunkers CD includes information on the descendants of James Bunker of Dover, New Hampshire; William Bunker and Ann Forrester of New Castle, Delaware; Benjamin Bunker and Betsey Daniels of New London, New Hampshire; and Thomas Bunker and Alice Pertie of Rattery. The CD also includes Devon, England Parish Records, maps and nearly 100 pictures. In addition, we have added the records of military service for Bunkers from all the many branches of the family.
The CD contains an electronic version of more than 1,300 written pages including indexes. Labeled with a depiction of the Bunker Garrison and packaged in a slim jewel box, the CD is $22.50, including shipping. Send check or money order to Bette Bunker Richards, (address above). For more information, send email to: betterichs@live.com. Please note that not all Devon descendants have been included, but those entered in the BFA data base to date. Bette Bunker Richards has spent the past five years updating the data base to include as much as possible about the descendants, especially about the descendants of female Bunkers. If there are additions that should be included, please provide those to Bette.

Those interested in pursuing genealogical research that may be contained in these publications should contact the BFA prior to purchasing a publication. We would prefer to make sure you have correct, up-to-date information in a pedigree chart (which the BFA can furnish). Then, if you find relatives are in one of the BFA publications, or want to purchase one for a gift, they can be ordered separately. We don’t want purchasers of the publications to be “disappointed” that they can’t find themselves or their relations.
