Hi Claus;
Thank you very much for your information. The Kornachers were of the
evangeliche religion but I was not able to find any of those records. Johann
Kornacher may have married a Catholic so I looked at the Catholic records
and did find the birth of child who may be related to me but is not my
direct ancestor.
If you find the address for the state archives, I would write to them, but
certainly could not afford to pay them for the renovations.
With very friendly greetings;
Leslie

Hi Leslie Mason:
I am looking for the birth records for an ancestor, CHRISTOPH GOTTLEIB
KORNACHER who was born about 1711 in Schedlau, Silesia - now Szydlowiec
Slaski, Poland. His father, JOHANN ADAM KORNACHER was born in
Schweinfurt
Germany but he moved to Schedlau and worked as a Hoch-Reichsgräflich
Pücklerischen Kammer-Schreiber.
I have written to the Muzeum Śląskie - Katowice Poland, the
Archiwum
Panstwowe Opole, Poland and the Archiwum Panstwowe, Wroc³aw, Poland.
They
say they do not have any records. I also looked at the microfilm
records
from the Katholische Kirche Falkenberg Taufen 1689-1712. They are
difficult
for me to read and I could not see the birth record in those files.
Could you please give me some advice for further research?
Thank you very much for any assistance you can give me;
I think, the name Gottlieb is typical evangelic.
You did not write, that Christoph Gottlieb KORNACHER was of evangelic
religion!
But I think this is correct.
So you have to read the evangelic church books of Falkenberg in Upper
Silesia.
But: Many of these old books were found at first round about 2005, but
in a very bad
condition. They must total renovate in a special laboratory of the state
archives
of Poland. The costs are round 10.000 Euro / book !! Therefor only the
first
3 books are renovated.
Now there is no more money! You can spend for renovation, but I have not
the address now.
With friendly greetings
Claus
