M. Henson,
My name is George W. Robertson in Louisville, Ky. and I just joined Genealogy Wise and am curious about the setup. Why was I assigned to your group.? Do you have a Robertson connection? What iis the deal on the gift pitch? I signed up for the Robertson surname group to hopefully find info on my first Robertson ancestor, Samuel, (ca 1744-1815) and who died in Washington County (Springfield), Ky. I am looking for Robertsons with a Kentucky background. Thanks
I have come across a few on Ancestry.com, mostly African-American and researching the Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee region. A couple seem to have done pretty extensive work on the Bunkley surname, but so far no brick walls have come smashing down for me. You might want to do a search of the Ancestry.com discussion boards if you haven't checked there already. I also have found quite a bit of information on the white Bunkley family/families, including some slave listings. One African-American researcher knows of a large Bunkley family reunion that occurs in Georgia (apparently not your 'typical' family reunion--this one is attended by genealogy buffs and there are documents, artifacts, etc. on display). Let me know if you're interested and I will dig up that information for you.
As far back as I can trace they are from Talbot County, Georgia. I see that yours are from Alabama. Talbot County is near the GA/AL line so it is possible there is some connection.
O.k., I'm done adding groups now! I've had all of this pent up genealogy energy all of these years and finally have a forum for it! I really appreciate this group!
