Research Notes
The Castor Association Of America. The association was founded in 1983. An association of genealogy family members in the surname lines of Caster, Castor, Custard, Custer, Gerster, Kaster, Kastor, Keister, Kester, Kiester, Kistard, Kister, Koester, Koster, Kuester, Kuster, Kustard and Kusterd. The Castor Association of America (CAOA) applies part of its efforts to searching for our foreign origins in order to better understand the earlier cultures abroad. This provides a deeper appreciation of the struggles and accomplishments of our ancestors. The Association publishes the results of its findings so that more people may share in its knowledge. CAOA also encourages informal regional and local gatherings of members to meet one another and learn more about their common history and the CAOA.

Paul Kester-940 is a duplicate match to Paul Kester-61. He married Ruhama Bonham-70. His father is William Kester-44 and his mother is Elizabeth Kester-553. His father William Sr. married three (3) times, first marriage was to his cousin Elizabeth Kester-553 (Yes same last name LNAB and after marriage), she is the mother of Paul Kester-61. William's second marriage was to Elizabeth Laycock-22/Leacock and various other spellings. At marriage her name became Elizabeth Kester, and she had children Elizabeth, William Jr., Sarah, and John. William Sr. married a third time to Sarah Martin-19186. I am requesting a merge, I see that back on 26 Apr 2019 it was a Rejected Match. Please check out all profiles and look into some of the research. They are the same person.
