George,
I thought for sure I would have a match for you but struck out again. I
descend from the Custers from Wayne Co, IN, which as you know, Richmond is
the county seat. A couple of my Custers (not direct line) changed their
name to Caster. Well, I checked all those I have and wasn't able to come up
with a Robert Lucien or anything close to that. That doesn't mean that the
huge Castor Assoc Files won't have your ancestors listed. (They can run but
they can't hide from the Assoc sleuths).
Have you tried at Richmond Library and courthouse? I found both places were
very helpful to me many long years ago. There is a Wayne Co Geneal Soc and
they will print queries. I believe they are on the Net. Are you stationed
near a large city where you might take advantage of the LDS Library
facilities? People there will be most helpful to you for nothing. But I
always leave a small donation to thank them for their kindness. They are
all volunteers. Hopefully, others on this list can be of more help than I
have been.
If you do find a relationship with the Custer/Casters, write back as I have
lots of info I can share with you.
Jo Kester (Kester is my husband's ancestry and Custer is my grandmother's
ancestry)

Subject: [CASTOR-L] Hello
Hello to all the decendents of the "Caster" or variation Family Line. I
happened upon your page while searching for information on the origin of
the Sir Name "Caster". I have found that there are suppose to be
records dating back prior to the 1066 era in England. I am interested
in researching the lineage of "MY" family name. Can anybody out there
help me without draning my bank account. It seems that there is alot of
people willing to help for a substantial fee and the results are not
always guarenteed as it is.
I am George Lee Caster, I was born to Robert Lucien Caster and Helen
Marie Davis in Richmond, Indiana on 17 November 1958. I know nothing
of where my father or mother are from because of family lines that are
dead.
Thank you in advance for anyone who will respond to this dispatch.
