Surnames: KAISER KYSOR KESER KEZER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/iRB.2ACE/2840.1 Message Board Post: "Kaiserville" perhaps should be Kysorville, New York, United States [Place] in Livingston County; location is 42°38'55"N 77°47'35"W [SourceGSP]. For map links, see http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.GetDetail?tab=Y&id=954840 Also see the West Sparta page from French's 1860 gazeteer, at http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyliving/town/wsparta.htm , with the address of the town historian. Livingston county was formed in 1821, and the 1820 census of Ontario shows an Isaac KESER. Unfortunately, his location is not very near Kysorville; they're about 5 lakes apart, and Isaac has a bunch of children. There are 46 other "kaiser" soundex equivalents in the 1820 census index of NY. By 1830, Isaac has moved to Groveland [near Kysorville], and in Sparta there is a Nicholas KYSOR with a 10-15 yo female [only child], and a Sylvanus KYSOR with a passel o' kids.
