Hello and Welcome!

2008 Honaker Family Reunion - Honaker, Va.

ABOUT THIS WEBSITE:

This is a work in progress and while not current, it is good place to begin your 
Honaker research.  In Feb. 2007, I had a major computer crash and lost many files.  
As of this latest upload I think (I hope) I have recovered the lost files and this 
site should now be current with the Honaker Family in America book that was published 
in 1998.  

I will continue working on this site as I can.  I need to add information from Tom 
Hanlin who is maintaining the official files and tells me that we have added over 
1,000 pages of information since the book was published.

The photographs on the site are mainly from the book, the Honaker Family Newsletters, 
or copies of photos sent to me by other descendants

If you can provide additional information or photographs, please e-mail me through 
the guestbook.  

We have several mysteries and points of confusion.  Over the next few weeks, I'll try 
to put some of them together and post them with the next upload.  They involve folks 
like which George Washington Honaker belongs to whom and which Rebecca Honaker 
married which Barrett fellow.  

For up-to-date information on the Honaker Families, contact the National 
Honaker Families Association at P.O. Box 3636, Alexandria, VA  22302-9998

If you are interested in purchasing a copy of "The Honaker Family in America", 
order from the Association (address above).  The book is 1,437 pages long and 
traces the lineage of immigrant Hans Jacob's 15 children - many of them to the 
present day.  The cost of the book is $66.50 (plus $3 tax if mailed to 
Virginia).  There is also a CD-ROM supplement availablfe for $10 (1,200 pp. 
now).

There is also a quarterly Honaker Family Newsletter for $15 annual 
subscription.

To protect our children and our privacy, I had masked individuals who are 
still living.  So if you search under your own name, you won't find anything.  
Best thing to do is search under the parent or grandparent who is deceased.  
There are some drawbacks.  Names are filed as spelled.  That means that if the 
name was spelled Honiker, that's how it's indexed - not Honaker.

I hope that this can be the beginning of a Honaker Family website that 
everyone can enjoy and use. 

If you connect to the Honaker families through any of the following names, you 
may find more information at my other tribal page site.  There is a link to 
that site at the bottom of this page: Rasnake/Rasnick/Rasnic; McGlothlin; Patrick; 
Jackson (and many others).


Feel free to e-mail me if you need anything.
