BERRY A KESTERSON
I just found this information on the LDS site..
Berry Anderson Kesterson b 30 November 1839 Caldwell Co KY d 1875 Pittsfield, Pike Co IL.. Under the 5 listings for Berry they have him married to Julia Ann Davis and Juliann H Davis and they also have his death as 1 Oct 1935.. Separate submitters no doubt - and none of them know what the other one knows.
Submitted after 1991 - according to the LDS folks - NO submitter information availabe.How can they just plop this stuff online with no back up and no submitter.. Theyare worse than Ancestry.com & Rootsweb combined!
Would the person who submitted this info get in touch with me please?If the bd is true - thats wonderful - we've been looking for a date for years!!I just want to know what the source of the BD is?
Now for the bad news - if you are using all this combined info then you have some errors in your database.There were TWO (2) Berry Kestersons from Pike Co IL.One was born about 1836 and he married Julia Ann Davis (I have the marriage license).This Berry A disappeared sometime after 1876 when his last child was born in Carthage MO.. SO if he died in Pike Co IL - THERE IS NO RECORD!!!The "OTHER" Berry Kesterson was a NEPHEW of Berry A - born in 1904 and "HE" is the one who died 30 Sep 1935 - NOT - 1 Oct 1935!! He was murdered in Placer Co CA and we have several newspaper reports etc.to prove that fact. We'd like to know where the name ANDERSON came from?What is the source?
I sure can't take on the LDS people single handedly- but I hope that all who read this will check their files and make the corrections.You can't believe all the data online - especially when there is no submitter info - no source and no way to verify it..
