Alma Bunch also received a number of letters, most from Edward J. Bunch, Ronald L. Brown, and Lee I. Park which continue the discussion of family genealogy from 1966 to 1983. There is extensive documentation regarding small branches of the family, a compilation of the research by Edward J. Bunch, as well as a family tree.
