Making a generalogical inquiry to the Bunker Family
Association can be done in many ways.

Because the BFA is a surname
association, its genealogists have only compiled records on people named Bunker,
for the past 80 years or so. With computer capabilities, we have enlarged
the scope, but only by a generation or so. Part of this is to compile
information on descendants of female Bunkers. For example, Mary Bunker marries
John Smith. The BFA records John's data (i.e., birth and place, death and
burial, and number of children), but not the names of the children in the main
data base as they are named Smith. Information on children is added to
supplementary files, but it would only be a notation as where they are to be
found; they would still not be in the Bunker surname file (see note below for
sites which track descendants of female Bunkers).
You can -- after joining the free
BUNKER list at Rootsweb.com -- post a query on the Bunker
e-mail list.
The Bunker Family Association does not
contemplate posting of the numerous Bunker family descendancies or GEDCOM files for
downloading. Even after years of extensive research and thorough documentation, there are
many unanswered questions and problems unresolved.
Many Bunker Family Association members
have their own World Wide Web sites accessible via the Internet, and have posted
genealogical information on descendants of Bunker females for sharing with relatives and others. Other Bunkers have done
the same. We've also included listings for other interesting sites.
