FAMILY ARTIFACTS Aside from documentation -- birth, death, and marriage certificates; wills; maps; and other parts of the "paper trail" -- that helps us understand our ancestors, many families have other items that aren't easy to categorize or describe. This page will provide an opportunity to show someof the things, both personable and memorable, that we have unearthed relating to the Bankert/Banker/Bankard families.
