Help[Facts] Re: Kohn, as an American last name
in reply to a message by Cleveland Kent Evans
My great-grandfather Kohns came to America as a young man of about 20 from what then was Prussia, now is Germany. I discovered on the ledgers in Michigan that recorded the births of all his 8 children the clerk had written down "Cones". I assume that is how it sounded when my Great grandfather said it. Later the children went back to correct their records one by one.
