Kosten: Surname Saturday

The Kosten surname is found on Kirk's paternal side of the family. In the late 1700's the family was living in Heinkenszand, Zeeland, Netherlands.

Adriaan Kosten and family emigrated from Wolphaartsdijk, Zeeland, Netherlands in 1873. They eventually settled in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Here is the line from Kirk through his 4x great grandfather, which is as far as I have researched.
