Hi!
My birthname is Hege Kornberg, and i am from Bergen, on the westcoast of Norway. My father was raised in Høyanger, near Volda, but his relatives lived in Volda still. I know this...
My father; Olav Folke Kornberg - His father; Lars Olav Gustav Folke Kornberg.

My father told me his g- g father was a sailor, and changed his name from Ekornberg (his birthname) to Kornberg, because it was easier to pronounse to forengers. He lived on a farm called Ekornberg...

My fathers cousin; Lasse Kornberg is a photographer in Volda, probably with an page on the internet ..

I can "investigate" more, and get back to you...
Its so much fun seeing the Kornberg name in use!!

Justin,
Regarding Kornbergs from the areas mentioned:
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. The children immigrated ,but as far as I know, Jakob and Lena did not.

Eleizer 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.

Samuel Kornberg was born About 1857. He married Rose Schmiedler (1859 - 1890). Together they had a son, Markusa Kornberg, in Breslau in Jan 1881. They immigrated to NYC in 1882. After immigrating, he had two daughters with Rose, then she died, and he remarried. I'm descended for the 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.

Perhaps these are three of the siblings of your Yakov? Please reply in either the positive or the negative.

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.

OK, now that I made an ass of myself, I looked in my tuxedo coat pocket and there was your card and gift! I guess I wrote the thank you to you since you were there, but never did see a card. Your being there is really more important to me, but thank you and now I have a gift too!

Re: write back

2003-07-30 14:53:21Z

ok...no more of these emails, especially for the whole world to see. . If you have a question you can TALK to me. I did get your card, but no gift certificate. Your daughter gave me a separate card and there was a Tony Roma gift card in it. That is why I addressed the thank you to her. I will assume that it was lost then. The main thing is that you were there and I thank you for that. Gifts are less important to me, but thank you for the gift certificate. Not everyone gave me gifts...I just appreciate them being there. There really is no problem, but now I understand that you gave me a Melting Pot gift certificate and thank you.

Re: write back

2003-07-30 04:43:07Z

Joel,
when you came over to our table i was the first one to hand you an envelope, then my mom and aunt yetta saw and gave you theirs at the table as well. look in your suit pocket, maybe the pocket on the inside and maybe its there.
love,
joan

Re: write back

2003-07-29 15:37:18Z

Gee, I never got a melting pot gift certificate but that's not important....by the way....all of those family members that you are looking for were supposidly killed in the holocaust. There is a chance that someone made it, but my dad said that noone did. Sorry to tell you that. I am just looking to see who they were.

Joel

Re: write back

2003-07-29 05:03:38Z

Hi Joel !!!
Guess we both have lots of questions that need to be answered and thats why we're here. Thanks for the info ...quite interesting. Would love to meet some of the offspring relatives we missed out for so many years. I bet Aunt Yetta could be of some help too.
By the way cuz......the Thank you note you sent me, the envelope was addressed to me, but the note was not. Just in case you didn't know, I gave you the $50.00 gift certificate for the Melting Pot.
Anyway, lets keep searching and stay in touch. One thing I did wonder. George on Seinfeld..Jason Alexander (stage name)..his real name is Jason Greenspan......could he be one of us?????? LoL !
Love ya,
Joan

Re: write back

2003-07-29 03:55:29Z

Hi cuz...fancy meeting you here...I found alot of info at jewishgen.org...and ellisisland.org.

Grandpa Joe and Grandma Frieda were both born in Zbarazh which was Austria (Galicia) then and Ukraine now. He was Josef Kornberg and she was Freude Grunspan. His father was Dawid Kornberg and mother was Lea Matfes. Her father was Chaim Hersz Grunspan (Greenspan now) and her mother was Taube Zipre Rauchman (Richman now). I found two of Grandpas sisters Chane Zirl Kornberg and Rachel Kornberg. I am not sure if two other kids, Moses Herz Kornberg and Ester Kornberg were theirs. Grandma had a brother Nachem (Nuchem) and they all came over in 1907. Grandpa came over in 1909.

I am still working on this....pretty cool, huh? There are actually quite a few Kornbergs in the US, you would be surprised how many.

Love ya,

Joel

My great-great grandparents were Frederick and Elizabeth Kornberg. They had at least one daughter, my grandmother Minerva.
Frederick owned some kind of factory in Philly, but we don't know what kind. We know they came from Russia, but we don't know more than that. If this sounds like
part of your family story, please email me.

Biderman Surname

2000-09-20 09:23:35Z

Justin,
Hi! My name is Robin Biderman and I noticed your posting on ancestry.com. First of all, Biderman was a very common name in Poland.
My family came from a small village near Warsaw called Meidzyrzec Podlaski or Mitzrich. I would suggest
that you go to www.Jewishgen.org (its the Jewish geneology page) and type in Biderman. There are about 16 people
who have that surname in their family and one of them might be able to help you.

Personally, my family came to the USA at the end of the 19th century. My great-grandfather
Barney brought his two brother Abraham and Morris to this country and left their sister in Poland.
They settled around the New York area and eventually started an umbrella business.

I hope this helps!

Robin

Hello!! Finally, another Kornberg. I too am trying to trace my family. My father (Jerome) was born in Chicago, Ill. His mothers name was Sarah. I really don't know much more.

My Grandpa Max

2000-08-26 14:41:55Z

Hi Joan,

Grandpa Max lived somewhere in Austria. I'm not sure when he came
to this country. It was probaby in the early 1900's. Anyway, his wife's
name was Sarah, and the only children (I think), were Rose (my mother), and
my uncle "Izzy." I won't get into detail (partially because) I don't know
much detail) now. I haven't a clue where to start, but every so often I
search online databases, and I found your post. You so lucky that you have
an Aunt who is still here to share your family history with you.

Regards,

Janice

Kornberg family tree

2000-02-02 09:46:01Z

My maternal grandfather, who died in 1957 at approximate age 84, had lived on Forsyth(e)St. in Manhattan, New York City, during the early 1900's. He had two daughters, Lilly, who was born in England, and Rose, my mother, who was born in January 1905 in NYC, and four sons, Philip, Abe, Murray and Harold (also known as Raymond). His wife's name was, I believe, Manye (changed to Mary in the USA), my grandmother. They came to this country around the turn of the century. Joseph, or Yussel, came from Austria-Hungary, and I believe Manye came from Poland. Any ties to the family of which you are a part?

There are other grandchildren: Lilly's kids were Elaine Kornberg Cholost and Larry Cholost; Lilly was married to Jack Cholost. Rose's kids were Neal Hoffman, Pearl Hoffman Blackman and Marcia Hoffman Shebovsky. Rose was married to Abraham (Abe) Hoffman, my father. Philip (or Phillip)had two kids:Steve Kornberg and Bernice Kornberg Natelson. Phil was married to Blanche Reisender Kornberg. Murray had 1 daughter, Muriel, whose married name escapes me. Abe Kornberg had a son, Lowell Kornberg. Ray or Harold had two sons, Richard Kornberg and Leonard Kornberg. Ray's wife's name was Sonja.

That's about all I have on this family. I'd be interested to hear from you.

Thanks.

Neal

Gunder Kornberg, my g-g-grandfather, was born in Norway in 1857. He immigrated to the US when he was 29. He ended up in Minnesota, and married Hannah Oleson (or Olesdatter). I believe he was from the Volda, Norway area, from a farm called Ekornberg. Please contact me if you have any information.

Do you have any additional information about

Kornbergs in America

williambwolfe — 2001-08-30 17:27:38Z

We have done some work on the Hymen Kornberg family that lived in NYC, Montreal and Joliette, Que, and Los Angeles and Hawaii.

Hello Neal Hoffman

williambwolfe — 2001-08-30 17:27:38Z

I posted two messages on the Message Board for the Kornberg family.
I'd like to talk to you further. I hope this message appears in your inbox.
The Kornberg family I'm researching came from Hungary. Family stories passed down over the years suggest that our Kornbergs are somehow related to the Nobel Laureate, Dr. Arthur Kornberg. Our research has not been able to confirm this.
Our line goes from Hyman (Chaim) to Samuel to Isadore. Around 1900, this family was in NYC (Manhattan). Inthe 1916-1921 period, they were in Montreal, then back in NYC for about 10 Years.
Drop me a note.

williambwolfe — 2001-08-30 17:27:38Z

Neal Hoffman,
You are probably aware of the New York Naturalization Index, 1907-1924 database on the Ancestry.com site.
It has 10 Kornbergs in Manhattan. One of them, Philipp, lived at 146 Forsythe St. Are you related?

More Kornbergs in NYC

williambwolfe — 2001-08-30 17:27:38Z

The 1925 NYC Directory by Polk (Listings A thru M,) See LDS Film 1606145 shows 26 Kornberg lisings.
One of them, Jos (probably Joseph) is a foreman for the firm of Simon Ackerman. He lives at 74 Forsyth.
A Philip lives at 304 5th. A Murray Kornberg, clerk, lives at 573 w. 192nd

The NYC Directory for Manhattan and Bronx (film 1,606,147) lists 22 Kornbergs

My dad just recently passed away and I am more desperate than ever to find out my anstery. I know that my grandfather was Samuel Kornberg and was married to Sarah Lupone or Lapone (not sure of last name) but she was french I believe.

Justin;

I wonder if I have Polish anstery. I think I might on my fathers side, Kornberg. I think my grandmother Sarah Lapone or Lupune came from France--I am very sketchy on details.My dad passed away only a year ago and so I don't know much. However, I noticed you mentioned London and my mum was born and raised in Liverpool, England; she came over to the states when she was 21 with my grandfather, Israel Gothalph. My grandmother Rebecca Gothalph was buried in 1945 in Liverpool and so far I have been unable to locate her burial site.

If you can help please let me know. Thank you Marcia Kornberg
