Like so many other researchers, curiosity was the spark behind this website. Specifically, curiosity about my father's family. After he passed away in 1997, I realized how little I really knew about his (and my own) ancestry. The curiosity has evolved into a full-blown obsession and resulted in this website. This site will, for the moment, be one that focuses on the Bunn families that settled in Mississippi, especially around the Monroe County area. This group evidently came from Georgia and before that, North Carolina. Hopefully, a link can be established between my gg-grandfather, Bennett Bunn and one of the Bennetts in North Carolina. I hope you will take the time to visit most of the site and leave comments or suggestions for me as needed. Be sure to check back from time to time as this site expands and maybe we can make a connection. Finally, be aware that the information presented here is by no means 100% accurate but is meant only as aid in helping the Mississippi Bunns piece together their family history.

In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future. - Alex Haley
