Judy - it would be good if you made some response on here

Judy has two posts only against her name....I wonder if the 'other' one is a duplicate of this?

Judy............

We need you to tell us where you got your 'info' regarding William's birth and death

It isn't borne out by any available on line records

thank you so much for ALL the info. I made a HUGE mistake with William's pob. I mixed him up with another William (Buchanan) who is on my gf Turner's side. I have been trying to find Buchanan in Scotland. The Kesters are still living in the same area in MN. My husband knows Uncle Tony (Anthony) and Rosa Kester. I have Rosa's married name and some descendents. On the census for Mendota for the Kesters there is John Paklak. I found some reference to a Paklak while trying to find where Mary Eggetter was born, but there was no mention to how the name was related. I APPRECIATE how much work you have made, because I am new to this site and you really like what you do. Judy

:-) <3 :-) :-) <3

a pleasure Judy - we love doing it :-D

I am sorry but I thought That I had replied to everyone. I do appreciate all your effort. Judy :-D :-D :-D
