The Bostetter- Bostatter- Bostater Family

The information included in this tree has been updated as of November 21, 2002. It will be changed and new information added as it is obtained. The various spellings include "Bostetter, Postetter, Bostater, Bosteter, Bostedor, Basteder, Bosteader, Bumstutter". We are a very large family whose roots can be traced back to "Bostetter, Maryland" (Near Hagerstown) on the maps.
It is our hope that the information contained within these reports will serve as a reference for most. This project was started over 20 years ago and still continues to grow with the help and imput of many family members.
