Hi Joan,
My husband's grandfather, Nicholas Charles Kersting (b. 1/26/1885), was a brother to Charles N. (for Nicholas) Kersting.I have information on their siblings and their parents (Joseph and Augusta) but I'm afraid that's where my information ends.Nicholas Charles Kersting was the rebel of the Kersting family, leaving home at the early age of 16 to ride the rails west and find work as a lumberjack and ironworker.Nicholas married in 1924, had one daughter in 1925, and died in 1933, of pneumonia.That daughter (my mother-in-law) is living in Texas now, far from Minnesota, and has, unfortunately, long since lost contact with her Kersting cousins.I'd be glad to share my information with you.Perhaps you know something about their parents and siblings that I don't and vice versa.
And, if there are any Itasca Co., Minnesota, Kersting cousins out there reading this message, please contact me.I'd love to find out more about my husband's Kersting relatives and German ancestry.
Sincerely, Kate Driskell
