Kasper and Anna’s first child to get married was their eldest daughter Julia. Julia was the sister of Anthony (my great-grandfather), Joseph, Michael, Frank, William and Mary Zesut. Julia married John Pendrok on June 27, 1914. I have yet to get in touch with any descendants of Julia and John but hope to make contact soon. Julia was my grandmother Wanda Zesut Thibeault’s Aunt.
While researching Zesut records at the Glastonbury Town Hall I came across Julia’s marriage certificate. The information contained on it is as follows.
