My grandmother was from the Yunker family. I have a lot of background information on her family from Madison/China Indian. My grandmothers name was Gladys Alma Yunker and her fathers name was Sylverster C. Yunker who was married to a Elma Schafer and they had five children named Clarence W. - Gladys A. - J. Howard - Sylverster L. and Inez L. Yunker.

need to find where Yunker family came from in Bavaria. Tracing Valentine Yunker, father of Franziska Yunker born in Bavaria in 1852. Even knowing where your Yunker Branch was from would help. please reply

My family is from Shutterwald, Baden Germany.
Their name may have been spelled Junker. They settled in Cincinnati. My email address is

Lori in the previous message is correct in that the name Yunker was often misspelled.
I have found ancestors with the following spellings:
Yunker
Junker
Yunger
Younger
The last was very popular in the United State. Maybe
this will help. Keep in touch and Happy Hunting!!
