Donna, Could you brief me on your Swiss research? Where did you hit deadends? I'm heading back to Bern this week for another session with the church records and would appreciate any insights you may have gained over the years. I sent letters (in German) earlier this year to the four KORNEGAYs in the German phonebook CD and received a response from only one. She confirmed the Kornegay spelling is not of German origin and that her husband is an Edward Kornegay from LaGrange.
