To anyone who has this book-Could you please check for me on the family name Kesterke or Koesterke who immigrated to the Ridgeville, Friedenstahl area in 1894-1896. They moved in 1906. I would appreciate anything any of you could tell me. The names are Frederick Karl Kesterke and wife Wilhemena and son Frederick Charles (carl) and wife Pauline.

The Kesterke family moved to the Kerry district (near Woodridge) in 1906. I cannot locate them on the 1901 census.

The Franklin book does not have any Kesterke, Koesterke, or
Kester. There is a Huff family, Joseph and Justine and children August, Frederick, Wilhelmina and Christina who were born in Poland and Elsie who was born in Canada.

KHi, If the family did not submit family history/ stories - to the Local History Book Project - in the mid to late 1980's Their story may not appear in the books / or index . Though their name may be mentioned as a neighbour etc - in the history of other family. Perhaps the Family submitted a family history /story - in another location.

Re the Census: It is possible that the surnames have been misspelled on the Census - Enumerators spell what they believe they hear -
