Can I find a Bonham in the Phone Book?

Growing up in the military we moved around a lot.  One of the first things I did when we arrived in our new town was to look in the phone book to see if there were Bonhams.  It was unusually to find one unless we were in Texas.

I came to believe that there were not a lot of Bonhams out there.  Boy, was I wrong!  It appears that there are tons of Bonhams all across the United States.  There are some in Europe too, but I can't even get my head around that fact.

I grew up think that I was a Yankee.  Turns out that was wrong also.  We come from proud Southerners.  The truth...my ancestors are Southerners.  I am a product of the Mid-West.

 I am trying to get my head around the fact that during the Civil War two brother ancestors fought on the opposite side and never spoke to each other for the rest of their lives.
