New Corn family book update
As a number of you know, there are three descendants of John Peter Corn who are working on a new Corn family book.We are Gary Cornn, Alice Corn Miles and Debbie McMahon Miranda.We would like to update everyone on our progress.
When we began this project our intention was not to re-write any previous work and not to make this a boring list of names, dates, and locations.I'm happy to report we are accomplishing our goal and it will be anything but boring!
As you might imagine, going beyond just the simple facts of someone's life can be a slow process especially if they lived a good 100+ years ago.It requires patience, tenacity, time and a little bit of luck.
All three of us have suffered personal losses since we began.Gary lost his mother in May of 2006, my mother passed in July of this year, and Alice lost her mother last month, Oct.
These passings bring home to us how important it is to record a person's life and to provide a quality family history.Please bear with us as we continue to work not only on the book, but also to move through our personal grieving.
Debbie, Alice and Gary
