ANCESTRAL GENEALOGICAL NOTES
I ran across your page at http://www.krausehouse.ca/krause/KornelsenJacob.htm while searching for a line of my cousins that went to Canada.
Klara/Clara (Moos) Kornelsen, born 14 Dec 1904 in Alt Nassau, was a 3rd cousin of my grandfather Heinrich/Henry. Her mother was Christina Neff, born 21 or 22 Jun 1871 in Dinkel (Tarlykovka), Kukkus, Samara, Russia. This family appears to have wound up moving through the Caucasus area and wound up in the area of Alt Nassau.
Klara/Clara and her husband Jacob/Jake Heinrich Kornelsen came to Canada with a daughter, Maria/Marie. Your page on travel to Canada does not include Maria/Marie, but there is a record for her just as for her parents. I think this is the reason why you note that there is an "error" involving this young girl.
There are a couple of things on your page that I'm confused by. One is the daughter Helen. Her obituary gives her name as Lene (Lee). Is "Lene" simply a nickname for Helen that she used?
Also, there is a daughter Ilsa married to a Gerhard Baerg, but the obituary of Klara/Clara calls this daughter Elsie, wife of Robert Bibby. Did she marry twice?
I've been doing genealogy as a hobby for about 15 years, and I try to trace down all of my lines and find the cousins. As Klara/Clara was a third cousin to my grandfather, her kids would have been fourth cousins to my mother, and her grandkids fifth cousins to me. I would greatly appreciate your putting me in touch with descendants of these folks.

Nice to hear from you. I think the confusion is the German and English. We always called the girls Lene and Elsie. Lene was pronounced “Leenah”. In German they would be “laynah” and “Ilsa” if the grownups were talking German. “Laynah” would be translated as Helen.
I presume that the girls didn't want German names and so went by the English translations. What was on their birth certificates, I wouldn't know.
As you know my name is spelled Margreta, but I was always called Margaret or Marga if someone was speaking German. I spelled my name the English way until University when a professor suggested the name on my degree should match my birth certificate. There was a stigma attached to being German.
Lene went by “Leenah” in her early working days. (I met her ex-boss several years later). That might have been shortened to Lee later.
Elsie (Ilsa) was married to George Baerg and they divorced. I have no knowledge of who she married later. It was the topic of much gossip in Leamington at the time. Elsie had two daughters, I think, but I don't remember their names. Elsie moved away and I never heard where.
Hilda's daughter Janet married “Red” Robinson, I think his proper name was John and when my mother was still alive they lived in the Leamington area. Janet made some draperies for my mother in the late 1980’s.
I presume that you have a copy of the Kornelsen family tree prepared in memory of Micha Willms. I would think the proper names are in there. Mine is at home and we're in Arizona right now. I'm tempted to look up Elsie, we're quite close to Surprise. Do you have any more information on her?
Hope this helps.
