I have a Bernard Heinrich KOORS who was born in Cincinnati in 1843. He is a
son of Johann Heinrich KOORS and Maria KALKMAN. Bernard married Catherine
Maria Dasenbrock on Nov 22, 1870. I have no further information.

I looked in the cemetery book for St Anthony Church in Effingham. The only
Koors burried there are:

    John B KOORS 15 Jan 1872 - 20 April 1940
    Clara M KOORS 15 Nov 1878 - 7 July 1944
    Catherine Francis KOORS dau of T J & M L 15 Feb 1911 - 3 Feb 1912
    Florence KOORS dau of John and C 7 June 1913 - 7 Aug 1913

Neither Bernard nor his wife is listed in the book. I do not have the book
for the other Effingham Catholic Church.

My John or Henry Koors left the Cincinnati area and moved to Effingham co.,
Illinois. Where they stayed. There is probably a connection with the ones
in Kenton co., KY, but I can't find it. He also had a brother Herman who
moved at the same time. Wish I had more information.

Do you know about what year they came to Effingham area? I have looked in
the 1860 census of Effingham County for you only found a Coores family.
Harmon, Mary ( Parents) age 52 and 48. with a Joseph, Anna and Clemens
listed as children. Could this be the "brother" you mentioned below?.
However, even if they are not listed in St. Anthony's parish records (
which was the German Catholic Parish in the "town".) ( The other parish was
typically the Irish Catholic Parish) There are several Country parishes
where they might be found. I know the Dasenbrock name is popular in the
area. Let me know if I can be of further help.
