William Henry Kerr is my great-great-grandfather. His son, Henry Allen Kerr was my great-grandfather. Henry fathered my grandfather, William Henry Kerr, and it was he who fathered my mother, Karleen Kerr.

Hi Jennifer, It's nice to meet a cousin. Thank you for contacting me. I have had quite a time trying to find the Kerr ancestors. Have you had better luck? I wish I would have written down what my grandmother told me. At one time she had given me lots of Kerr ancestor information. I had a good memory back then and I thought I'd remember it. haha.
