Korn Family

[Matthew Korn]

Hello all,
 
My name is Matthew Korn, I live in Auckland New Zealand.  The Korn family is originally from Goteborg. My oldest known ancestor is Carl Magnus Korn ( b 27 Jan 1770, d 11 Aug 1832 ) a Merchant, who was successful enough to have his portrait in the Museum of Goteborg ( so Ive read ).  He was married to Kristine? Soderberg.
 
I am interested in any information on Carl or the Korn family in general.  Any advice on where to look for further information would also be appreciated.
 
Carl's son - Svante Hendrik Korn ( 1830 - 1860 ), was a merchant and factory owner in Goteborg.
 
Svante's son: Sven Herman Korn ( 1845-1925 ) also a Merchant in Goteborg.
 
Sven's oldest surviving son was Bror Ernst Hugo Korn ( 1879 - 1960) was my great grandfather, a ships helmsman who settled in New Zealand.
 
 
As I say, any information or leads on the above, especially the origins of the Korn family in Sweden would be wonderful.
 
 
Many thanks
Matthew Korn

Carl Magnus can be found in Göteborgs Kristine AI:4 page 188.
 
His son Svante Hendrik on the same page was born June 8, 1813 (not 1830).
 
The birth notation of Sven Herman is found in Göteborgs Kristine C:9, page 655. He was born December 9, 1845.

Thankyou all so much! Especially Yvonne ( are we related? ) Im stunned!  Never in my wildest dreams did I expect so much information.  And overnight, too!!
 
 
Yvonne, I have a couple of other questions, I wasnt expecting to ask, but since everything else has just been answered ....... according to some journals by Sven Herman Korn, he believes that the Korn family arrived in Sweden from Pomerania in early 1600's and also that the name derives from Ikorn, which is a listed noble family ( I doubt this is true ). I know Im pushing my luck, but do you have any ideas?
 
 
Many thanks, everyone!
Matt Korn

[Yvonne Korn]

Hello again! And no, I have never heard anything about a relation to the Ikorn family. As to relationship I would prefer to mail you directly since that is more private than I would like to discuss in this place if you don't mind?
Best regards,
Yvonne

[Matthew Korn]

As Im new around here, and also well known for not looking properly, I dont know how to find your email address.  Can you email me?   That would be great!
