Robert, who is your family in n.c.? Do you know Wallace and Verle Kornegay? Wallace is the son of george washington Kornegay of Al. This is my direct line. Barbara Green Justice

Ruth, Ooops. I was checking my computer for Y2K compliance and had not changed the date back to this decade. Obviously, my CPU handled the 2000 projection. All of you with PCs (not a problem for Macs I understand) may be interested in checking out the webpage below to insure you make the transition into the new millenium: http://www.year2000.com/articles/articles.html Robert -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert L.

Just wondering if anyone has considered if KORNEGAY is of Swiss Heritage. If I recall one of George's children's names was BASIL---there is a Basel, Switzerland. This may be too simplistic, but it is worth considering. Ralf sent me the list of the GNAGI/Gnagy---- the umlaut is over the a.---- families listed in the phone book. I note one Hans Gnagy Wilhelm-Wust-Str 21, 76829 Landau in der Pfalz I count about 4 listed there. And there are four KORNEGAY's listed but I believe Robert KORNEGAY told us they were Americans living in Germany perhaps some with the Armed Services. Ralf, also, sent an article written about his two daughters who suffer from Fanconi Aplastic Anemia Sarah Ninja and Valeska. Their dau Elisa was spared of the disease. It is in German so now I must find someone who reads German to read it to me. Gayle W. Licari

Sheila, I agree with you 100%. Sandy I have come to >the conclusion since naming practices such as they were at the time of the >Civil war, descendents of this family were more than likely descendents of >former slaves from one Kornegay plantation or another. Every year or so the >family has a big reunion here in Meridian. And knowing history like I >do....some were probably blood related.

Hello Kornegay researchers: #645 p. 406 Samuel HERRING of Wayne Co deed of gift to his son, Elisha Herring, of same, 10 april, 1787, for natural love and affection the following negroes, viz., Peg, Chloe , and Agg and their increase and a a pair of "sleve" buttons, to be equally divided among said ELISHA HERRING and the heirs of my body hereafter begotten by my present wife, Polly HERRING. Wit: Benja. Stevens, Joel Herring, Thomas Boyet. Source of information by Sara Allen Abstracts of Wayne County Deeds. Another note of interest is: Fredricka Whitfield who does the TV reporting. I have often wonder if she is of our Whitfields of NC a group did move to Calaha, AL and the actress Lynn Whitfield. Gayle W. Licari

Kathy, there is about as many African Americans by the name of Kornegay in our area as there is Whites by the name Kornegay. I'm sure they think as much of Independence Day as any one else.

Kathy, When my husband was stationed at William Beaumont General Hospital in El Paso (1962), he met a man on his shift who was black and had the surname of Kornegay. He told me about this man and I even saw him at the office. I didn't talk to him about his last name being the same as my maiden name. I knew that slaves sometimes took their masters name. I wish I had been more interested and talked to him about it.

As we celebrate Independance Day, I wonder about the former slaves of our ancestors who may have taken the Kornegay name. Are there any African Americans who are researching this family name, or is anyone aware of any descendants?

Hi Kathy, Believe there is a man named Willie Robinson who has a homepage on FTM who has one heck of a lot of the same people we are all talking about. He says that he is doing African American research but I don't know whether he is himself. Sue in CA

What Williams family is the one you have? How far back do you go with the Williams and Smiths. What Smith family do you have ? What location is the Williams and Smiths from? Lots of questions - There is so many families of both the names Thanks Ruth At 05:26 PM 7/2/1998 EDT, you wrote: > Ruth > I have a lot of Williams and Smiths from >N C > > >==== KORNEGAY Mailing List ==== > > > > > >

Hi Janie, Okay, from the FTM, just get into the family page for the earliest one you want to head to the chart, click on "outline" and from the contents, click on the BD, DD &MD with locations, this will give all the info we need for the outline, click OK and then under "edit", click "Copy Outline Descendant Tree", which puts into memory and go back to your e-mail that you are writing to me and do a "Paste" under edit. The chart will show up right into the e-mail and you don't have to do an attachment this way. Would like to get your info. I will send the 2 GEDCOM attachments you are asking for in 2 separate e-mails to you in a bit. Til then. sue in ca
