Beginning to research your Kenistons
Okay!I'm not the person who requested this surname, but it IS my surname so I will leave this message to anyone who is just beginning to research their (his/her) KENISTON ancestry.
My second great-grandfather settled in Minnesota from Cabot, VT bearing the name Job KENASTON (and his father, Joshua KENNISTON, was the town clerk at the time Job's name was recorded in the town records).
Job's family used the KENISTON spelling, while Joshua's family, primarily used the KENNISTON spelling (but there are always exceptions).
So for those of you who are just getting started in your genealogical research, please be sure to check ALL known spellings of this surname, including KENNISON, KENISON, KENERSON, KENNERSON, KINASON, KYNASTON, etc.Genforum has a number of them listed.
Wynn Keniston
