I am creating this website to display the information I have gathered through the years on my Bonta/Banta Family History.

I can only prove back to my maternal great-great-great grandfather (Edward Eden Bonta; b. 18 Sep 1844, d. 25 Aug 1908) in this line.  There are books written on the Banta Family from Friesland, Holland, but I cannot prove past my great-great grandfather yet.

I’m hoping that this website will attract others who are also researching my line of the Bonta/Banta  family, and we can work together to combine our research, pictures, documents, etc.

I remember my great-grandmother (Florence Eden Bonta-Lyons; b. 28 Sep 1890, d. 29 Jun 1988).  I have several pictures and documents related to this line of my family, and will get them added to this website as time allows.

From the documents, pictures, Bible, etc. that I have accumulated during my research, the name in my line has mostly been spelled “BONTA”, but there are a few things and a few ancestors who are connected that it is spelled “BANTA”.  I always research both when working on this side of my family history, because they are definitely connected.

Thanks to everyone who have done research on the Bonta/Banta Family History.  If anyone would like to add anything to this website, or would like more information from me, please email me at potrafke@comcast.net.  I still have a lot of information to add to this website, so please check back periodically for additions, corrections, changes, etc.  Also, if you see any errors or have any suggestions for this website, please let me know.

                                                                                                 Thank You,
