Buntings started emigrating from the UK a long time ago. They were among the true pioneers. There are firm records of Bunting families endeavouring to establish themselves in the USA as far back as the 1680s. Claims are sometimes made of Buntings having been 'found' several centuries earlier than that, on the other side of the Atlantic. But such optimistic, albeit well-intentioned, assertions are invariably difficult to substantiate.

Membership of the Bunting Society continues to grow strongly. In the last six months or so we have welcomed 23 new members (see page 20). They come from all corners of the globe, from Colorado, Vermont, New Jersey and Massachusetts in the USA and from New South Wales in Australia. New UK members come from places as far apart as Aberdeen and Wimborne, Dorset.

The 20th Annual gathering of the Bunting Society will be at Long Buckby, Northamptonshire, England, on October 10 2009. We are hoping to have the village Historical Society co-operating with us to give us a talk on old Long Buckby and to give us access to their museum.
Further planning to make this a memorable day is progressing. At least three of our family trees have links with the Long Buckby area: KEN New Romney, NTH Long Buckby and NTH Kislingbury and with more work doubtless more Bunting connections back to Long Buckby will be found.

Those members of the Bunting Society hoping to establish ancestral connections with others sharing the same surname now have a new genealogical tool at their disposal, namely DNA testing. In the last issue of Gone A-Hunting we introduced the concept and there is now felt to be a need to give DNA testing by Buntings a 'kick start', by attempting to overcome the not inconsiderable obstacle of cost.

In this issue we attempt to drag the Bunting Society, though not necessarily screaming and kicking, into the 21st Century with an introduction to DNA testing as a means of tracing one's ancestors - or at least those on the legitimate (literally) paternal line. David Bunton's article spells out the genetic genealogy techniques used to establish present and therefore past relationships.
