Kessler · Keslar · Kesler

From Europe to colonial America in 1751, the Kessler family established a successful homestead in Maryland. Less than fifty years later, some left Maryland to join the great westward migration.

Thomas Fairchild arrived in New England in 1639, just nineteen years after the Pilgrims. His descendants’ story spans more than ten generations of American history.

From Poland to Locust Point in Baltimore, Maryland in the late 1800s, the Sparzak & Rykoski families were part of the great Polish migration to America.

Follow the oldest Rykoski daughter’s journey from Locust Point to East Baltimore and how she positioned her family to achieve the “America dream”.
