Messages From Old Message Board
I have decided to shut down the Korns.org message board because too many of the pop-up ads, in my opinion, had content that was unsuitable to this website, and potentially offensive to the users of the website. It was a free message board, and I had no control over the content of the ads.
Below is some geneology-related content from the message board that users of the website may find interesting.

The National Park System website http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/regiments.cfm lists three men by the last name of Corn in that regiment, two in Company C. The middle initials of two are listed, but for the one named "John Corn", the middle initial is not listed. Since many Germans had the first name of John or Johann, and it was typical for many Germans to be known to the public only by their middle name, maybe "John Corn" is your ancestor; i.e. maybe his entire name was John Henry Korns. Here's the three names from the 26th Indiana Regimental roster:Corn, John C Private Private Names are often grossly mis-spelled on such rosters, but the National Archives records typically give the names of spouses, birth places and such, so it is often possible to figure out if it's the right person or not. I suggest you try getting the National Archives recrods for John Corn, and see if he is who you are looking for. L. Dietle |
Anne, For a small fee, the National Archives will photocopy the original Civil War records of any union soldier for you; the only trick is that you have to find and use the right form. There are two types of records, each with a small fee; I suggest that you order both. I haven't done it in many years, so I don't remember how to get the forms, but nowadays there is probably a National Archives website with downloadable forms. Regards, L. Dietle |

Hello, my daugher is in the 10th grade at BGM and they have to do a family tree. My father is Bill Korns, my grandfather was Calvin Korns of Hartwick. Would you happen to have afamily tree or know where I could go to find one. I have the korns.org website that has helped me a little bit. |

I received your message. My grandmother was Jean Korns. Her father was Jacob Korns. He was born in Millersburg Ohio and moved to Iowa to buy land and set up farming. He was in the war between the states. I have his discharge papers where he served with other Iowans and was discharged for health reasons while serving in Memphis, Tenn. All his children were girls and so the Knorns name was not carried on. I have more information I will try to look up and get back to you. |
Fred, I would love to have a copy of Jacob Korns' discharge papers for the Korns.org website if you have the time sometime to scan or photocopy them. L. Dietle |

Kathie, Thanks for taking the time to upload your family information, and offering to dig into local records for the site. Dewey C. Korns is listed on page 84 of the "Genealogy of Michael Korns, Sr.", which you can download from this Korns.org website in PDF format. He's in Chapter III, the Daniel Korns branch, and it lists Audrey "Jane" Korns as his daughter. I wonder if Mahlon, his brother, is the "Mahl" Korns that lived in a cabin on a small farm back of my Grandad Allen Korn's farm in Southampton township. My uncle owns that Mahlon's farm now-I suppose it's the same person. If I remember correctly, there was a stone walled cabin with a small wooden kitchen added on, and he and his brother lived there. I'm trying to remember things that I saw and heard in 1969, and I have to admit some of it is a little fuzzy. I'll have to check with my uncle or cousin. The cabin walls were fallen in in 1969, but the chimney was still standing. Regards, L. Dietle |

Ann, I don't have the answer to your question, but just in case you missed it, page 88 of the CBK book (online) says that John moved west with his brother Solomon in 1855, and was living in Tama County, Iowa circa 1864. If you wanted to search public records for John, then Tama County, Iowa would be a good place to start. L. |

I am descended from Michael and Susanna Korns through Rebecca Korns (or as she is sometimes called Margaret) to Rachel Witt b. 28 Sep 1818 m. Philip Wilhelm. They lived on the PA/MD line (Allegany Co., MD side) at Wellersburg, PA, before moving to Lee Co., IL. Their son Jonathan P. Wilhem married Adeline Marteeny, who was from Somerset County. Their daughter Maude Wilhelm, my grandmother, was born a few months after they moved to Grundy County, Iowa, in 1880. Other Korns descendants from Southampton Twp., PA, also bought land in neighboring sections in Iowa, but not all moved there. |

Do you know where your William Korns was born, or what his middle initial was? There were two books in my grandfather's house in Southampton Township, Somerset County,. PA signed "William C. Korns". The books were "Ten Nights in a Bar-Room and What I Saw There" by T.S. Arthur, undated, and "Life of Henry Ward Beecher". I would guess they are both from the early 1900's, based on their binding. The the house where the books were found was formerly owned by John Wilson Korns and before that, his father Daniel Korns, Jr. I have never been able to figure out who this William C. Korns was; I wonder if he is the person you are inquiring about? |

REPLY FROM WEBMASTER TO PREVIOUS MESSAGES To All: Thanks for the kind comments regarding this web site; they are very much appreciated. To John Reiber: I received your book and am enjoying it; kudos for the good work. To Don Korns: I am glad to make your acquaintance. Do you have any plans to publish all or part of your Ultimate Family Tree information on the internet? If so, I could put a link to it from this site. To Patri317@aol.com: Do you have links to the Korns family? To 09/02/00 02:21:45 anonymous: In the photos the ventilation slots do look very much like gun ports, but not all of them are really wide enough to allow a rifle or musket forearm to project through very well so I have never been willing to state that I think they actually are gun ports. Personally, I suspect that the slots are narrow on the outside to minimize rain penetration, and wide on the inside to maximize ventilation communication area. It is known that Michael Korns had a number of firearms, including a pistol. Particularly in view of the pistol, one can assume that from time to time Michael Korns thought of personal defense. The stout barricades on the contemporary Lepley house nearby also confirms that the settlers of that day were conscious of the need for self defense. Further, it is known that the Korns house was a community gathering place, so it may be remotely possible that they intentionally made the buildings tenable from a defensive standpoint, but who knows? I would defer in this regard to someone who knows more about early American construction than I do, which is precious little. In regards to the date stone, it was unfortunately hauled away when that portion of the barn collapsed and was repaired with other materials. To Raymond Korns: Outstanding! I am glad the site was able to help you. To Leanne01@aol.com: I am not actively doing any research at present.

I understand the "barn" that you have pictures of, MIGHT have what appears to me as possible GUN-SLOTS, for defense of the building, by the fact that it has larger "inside" openings than "outside" ones. I have seen old forts built with this style of slott d windows in them, Could this building be an unknown historic "fort?" The missing corner stone might have told something of historic value about the building, if it could be located. Are there any museums in the area, who might have the corner-stone?

Just stumbled onto your site while trying a new multiple search engine. The site has never shown up on other engines but I'm amazed at the detail and depth of your research. I hail originally from Dayton, Ohio. My mother, Eileen (Folz) Korns still live in Centerville (outside Dayton) and is 82 and going strong! My father, Howard Albert Korns, an architect, was the son of Edward Korns, a fire-captain and former rabbit farmer from West Milton, Ohio. I know very little of the family history as no one wo ld talk about Ed Korns parents to me. Your site has re-kindled my interest in finding out about my own Korns' family history. Thanks! Raymond E.

Hi! I just stumbled onto your website and have bookmarked it for further reading and research. You have done such an excellent job with your site and I thoroughly enjoyed it as a website as well as the genealogy data and research you are doing and sharing. am climbing my ancestral tree here through Catherine Baker Korns, daughter of Michael Korns and Susanna Baker/Baucher. She married Jacob Kimmerer in 1801 Cumberland Co., PA. I've noticed Catherine was born in 1783 in Berks Co, PA and died in 1859, Holms o., OH. Her daughter Eliza Kimmerer b. 1814 is the one I am trying to find more information on. I believe she may have married James Collins, Dec. 21, 1838 in Wayne, OH. I believe their children were Milton, Rebecca, Alexander, Lorinda (my third great randmother), Alonzo, Wakefield, and Joseph Collins. If you have any information on this family line I would very much appreciate any leads. Thank you again for all your research. Leanne Wiese Santa Clara, CA Leanne01@aol.com
