HI! Wow there are a lot of Coury's out there! I am also one. We live in PA. Some brief history that I found out.....My grandfather was born in Lebanon/Syria to a Coury but it was spelled w/a "K." His father was killed by the communists and his mother remarried an Issac who took on the Coury name. Why??? I have no idea. But my grandfather was a true Coury. His name was Michael. I have been looking for connections w/distant cousins, and wanting to learn more about the family tree. If anyone has more info...e-mail me.
