Good evening...

I read your John Punch contribution to Wikipedia. I have performed significant research on the Bunch family for a very long time.

There are issues to be corrected:

Ancestry has removed all related documents regarding Obama, Bunch, and Punch. There was not factual evidence or DNA linking Obama and Bunch to the John Punch (first indentured slave theory). Please remove the reference of the Bunch family descending from the John Punch person. There is no paper trail, no factual evidence, and most importantly - no DNA. Not one person can prove the DNA of Punch. Therefore there is no DNA link. At best, one might say there is a 50/50 chance that John Punch (if African) had M2 YDNA. Even if he had M2 - that is not DNA evidence. Also, there was most certainly, a Punch family living in the same community as John Punch. The name for you to research is Page Punch. You will find Page Punch in the same community with no travel record about how he came to the America. Page was there - with family.

Also, your text is all "theory" and "wishful" thinking. If Bunch became Punch all at once in the same community how did that happen? Did they get an official name change? I ask that jokingly. Bunch was never ever confused with Punch at any time or in any record. The governing community new who the Punch family was. How could the name change? I will give you the fact that at times names do change, but not this time. Not in this case. Punch was obviously a rare black person living in a community with a very popular person he was indentured to. No way, no way, no way - that person in this community would allow Punch to become Bunch. There was legal record of Punch being sentenced. Also, there are travel records for this Bunch family coming from England as M2 YDNA men. True that. YDNA, paper trail, and DNA links in England today.

Please correct this - Ancestry has already corrected their mistake and retracted their original theory that someone created several years ago around 2010.

Thank you.
