Our Family

Because we receive so many inquiries about our family ancestry,
we generously exchange genealogical information with our Network visitors.

The Kezar Family Ancestry

Our history in America began in 1630, when George Keyser/Kezar
arrived in Massachusetts from Leighton Buzzard, England.
Most Keyser/Kezar family members, living in North America,
descend from George and his wife Elizabeth Holyoke.

The Kezar Network was created to serve members of one branch
of the Kezar family,  the descendants of Hiram Luther Kezar,
his wife Esther (Kinsman) of Durand, Wisconsin.
