Hi Brian! Thanks for ‘stopping by’ and especially thanks for leaving your name and e-mail address so we can share info should it turn out that we have common ancestors. If I understand it right, I descend from a New Jersey branch, but I need to look over the information a little better before I can be certain.

I’ve written a new blog post that answers the “where can I find the book question, and also that mentions the Corson Family Association website. The dues are quite reasonable, and Michael Corson was quite helpful as well.

Here is the link to the blog post: http://www.familytreewriter.com/2010/03/the-corson-family-association-website/

I realized that I was getting a lot of traffic on that Corson post, and that I should follow it up.

Good Luck in your search!

Sherry

PS I’m going to send this to your e-mail address, too, so you do not miss it!

Where in the world can I find a copy of that book? I have researched MOST of the genealogy from current to about 1600 but there are some questions and missing items. Seems like the line that I am attached to is from Belgium in 1620/25 (Hendrick Corssen). I have found it fascinating how the name has changed in spelling over the generation’s and even, sometimes, by the same person who when writing a will wrote it in two different ways…

I must sound a bit long winded but I am on this tiring search for the book and cant find it at all…any advice or knowledge of where I could find a copy?

Thank you

-Brian

Hi Joan! I rec’d those few scanned pages last week, and they are most interesting, and even better the person who did it in the 1930′s mentioned his Sources! Praise the Lord, so I know where to go to verify, etc. Now, that makes me realize how remiss I’ve been in not making sure even the current family info is documented for those who follow us! There are a couple of pages missing about my dad’s siblings, and I’m going to ask for those, as I found some surprising info about early places of residence and also jobs that I didn’t know, so it’s been a good thing. I’m going to submit info for the update that is coming out, so this is GREAT! Thanks for stopping by!

o, those “few scanned pages” can taunt and torment one! At least the 2 pages of the 1842 diary certainly torment me.

Thanks, Joan! I can’t wait to get the book in hand, either! They are working on an update, and one guy has offered to scan some of the pages for me, so may wait till they get the update done and purchase it.

He also told me that it is on-line at Ancestry so I’m gonna check that out as well. Be interesting to see if the book has my dad’s family info ‘right,’ too…

Dancin’ on the ceiling is right! I connected with a Corson who hosts a Corson website and he’s going to connect me with ‘my’ branch. They are also in the process of making a new family book, so I can share with them, and put into the book what info I deem good (and safe). At one time, that would have been a lot. Now, I’m not so sure about living family going into the book, y’know?

WAH HOO! What a great find. I can hardly wait to hear your stories when you actually get the book in hand. Good hunting.
