• Second-Hand Information, Most of my first genealogy information, which was very detailed information on the ancestors was given to me in 1982 by my Mother, Marlene G. Packer Kester. She was the family historian of the families, long before we had computers, the Internet, and genealogy computer programs. Virgil M. Kester III.
