I have a relative, June Briody, who married a William H. Yunker who resided in
Vanderburgh Co. I do not know if there is a connection with your Yunkers. If you are
interested, I can contact my cousin who is into genealogical research and was her brother.
Let me know and if you're interested, send me a private email address so I can reply
off-list. Both June and William are deceased, but have descendants in the area. I have
found following:

The parents are gone in 1900 so can't find a year of immigration, but it would have
been 1858 at the LATEST; due to the ages of the children born in IN.
