About Kester Family
The KESTER name in my family, came from KUSTER. My line is from Germany, the KUSTER's came from Germany to the United States, landing in Pennsylvania. Of the son's of KUSTER, they all began using other spellings of the last name, with KESTER and CUSTER being the more common. My line of KESTER moved over the years westward, from Pennsylvania across the United States, ending in California.
In German, KUSTER and KUESTER, mean the Sexton of the Church, or the Caretaker of the Church.
