I have a Jakob Kornberg, who I BELIEVE lived in or near Breslau germany, now Wroclaw, Poland.I know of, as follows:
Jakob Kornberg was married to Lena Weiner.
They had at least three children, Eliezer, Samuel, and Hannah. The children immigrated ,but as far as I know, Jakob and Lena did not.

Eleizer 'Louis' Kornberg was born about 1852, died Aug 1941. He married Rose Cohen, who was from the town of Czentochow, Poland. Rose was the daughter of Isaac Cohen and Fannie Weltman. They immigrated about 1889. Louis, as he was known in America, and Rose, ran a candy store for years, but died childless. However, Rose's mother Immigrated at aboutthe same time as her daughter, and died in NYC. in the 1920 Census, one niece, Ray Lefkowitz, immigrated 1913, is living with them.

Samuel Kornberg was born About 1857. He married Rose Schmiedler (1859 - 1890). Together they had a son, Markusa Kornberg, in Breslau in Jan 1881. The family immigrated to NYC in 1882. Markusa became Max. After immigrating, he had two daughters, Helen and Henrietta with Rose, then she died, and he remarried to Sere ( Sarah ) Frischman. I'm descended from this second marriage.

Hannah Kornberg was born about Mar 1865, and died in NYC in 1945. She married Joseph Weisberg. I BELIEVE they were married in the Breslau area, then immigrated together in 1885, but other than census records, I have no proof of that yet. Joseph and Hannah had a number of children: Fannie, who married Joseph Friedlander, Jacob 'Jack', who married Sadie, David, Mina ' May', And Rosanna, who married Todd Leshem.
