Family Lineage Hello, my name is Tina Keister. I am the daughter of Vicki Louise Lundgren and Harold Dean Kent. I was born on November 17th, 1967, and raised in Boone Co. Iowa. I graduated from Ogden High School in 1986. That same year, I moved to Cedar Rapids/Linn Co. Iowa. I have remained here since then, building a family. I have two daughters, Allexus Morgan, born on January 13th, 2001. And KayCee Merie, born June 20th, 1987. My husband's name is Donald Robert Keister Jr. Son of Donald Robert Keister Sr. And Marilyn (Meier) Keister. He was born on February 22nd, 1968, and raised here in Cedar Rapids. We were married August 1st, 1999. As a little girl, I sat and listened to the many stories my grandparents would tell me of my family lineage. I come from a Swedish/German (Pennsylvania-Dutch) background, I have always been curious to find out my family history. I began two years ago, peicing together fragments of my family's unknown history. I have traveled three states, several times, looking for clues that my family left behind. I have come across several wonderful volunteers and searchers in the states that I know my family had been in. And on my journeys, I have found other branches of my family. I thank all of them and show appreciation by adding them and the information they have given me, both into this website, and the history books forever. I continue, and I shall always strive to push on with my research, looking for my family as well as others. I am always willing to lend a hand for all those who seek information on the family lines I research. This site is dedicated to my grandparents, Walter E. Lundgren and Marjorie Mae Bundy for peaking my interest. My mother Vicki Louise Lundgren, for her support and curiosity of what adventure could come next. And, to my girls, KayCee and Allexus. So that they will never forget where they came from. |
