ROBIN KERS' GENEALOGY PAGE
At age 15, certain events in my life caused me to develop an interest in my roots. It wasn't until years later that I was able to devote enough time to a search of those roots and by then I had married and had children of my own. Consequently my research widened and extended to several branches on both my and my wife's side of the family.
One of the most popular and the fastest growing uses of the internet is genealogical research and so I was not terribly surprised when I ran into others on the net researching my wife's family name which is Belanger, one of the founding and larger families in Quebec.
I was, however, very surprised when I ran into someone researching the Kers name as my previous research suggested there was no one else in Canada with the Kers name other than some eastern Europeans who had legally changed their name from Krs.
There are myriad resources for genealogical research on the internet and thousands of web sites offering everything from search tools to genealogical graphics to the free storage of gedcoms (computerized genealogical charts). Accordingly I will list here only a few of those sites offering the largest number of links. The balance of my page will be devoted to my and my wife's family trees.
