Good evening,
I'd appreciate a lookup for Sebastian KESSLER (KESTLER, KOESTLER, KESLER, maybe
KISTLER) in the 1850 and 1860 Census for Indiana. I'm sorry I can't be more
specific about the county; one possibility is Marshall. I'm especially
interested in the names of his wife and children.
I found 2 Sebastians referenced in Filby's Passenger and Immigration Lists,
Cumulated Supplements 1986-90, Vol. 2 H-N. The source quoted in both cases was
"An Index to Indiana Naturalization Records found in various order books of the
92 Indiana counties local courts prior to 1907", published by the Indiana
Historical Society in 1981. One of the Sebastians is supposed to be on p. 81 of
the book, the other on p. 83.
Thanks very much for whatever insights you can provide.
George Meister
