I just got a copy of a piece of work entitled "Knorr Legacy, The life and times of Adam Knorr, 1870-1952" from my Mother. This Adam was the brother of my Great-great Grandmother Anna Knorr-Scheck. If by some miracle, the author of this work stumbles across this message in his research would he please contact me. My lineage goes from Anna (Knorr) and Adam Scheck to Adam and Elizabeth (Wagner) Scheck, to Eva (Scheck) and Joseph D. Herron (of Foresters Falls Ont), to Maynard A. and Donna (Higginson) Herron to me.

I want to thank the author of this work for filling in some of the blanks in my own research and for helping me to pick through the maze of Adam's and Anna's in the family to my Great-great-great Grandparents. (I was so confused) The author has also clarified and confirmed some old family stories. I was thrilled to recieve this piece of work and I am truly greatful for the work that went into this.

Kim,
My great great grandmother's name was also Anna Knorr. However she married Johann Kohlman. They lived in Cincinnati, OH in the mid 1800's. There seem to be millions of Anna Knorrs. Where was you Anna Knorr from? Mine came to the US from Bavaria.

Hello, I have Anna Scheck as my greataunt. She was sister to Adam Knorr. She married Adam Scheck. Their son Adam was born in 1888 and married Elizabeth Wagner. They had a daughter named Eva born September 22, 1910. That is where my history ends for this part of my tree.

I am quite sure we are on the same path.

Eva was my Grandmother. Eva married Joseph Dillon Herron from Foresters Falls Ontario. They had four children, one of which died either at birth or very young. Their surviving children were, Mary, John and Maynard. Eva passed away on March 23, 1989 in Kerrobert SK. I would like to find out the names of Eva's siblings. I know there was Adam b. 1905, d. 1917, Elizabeth b. 1908, Anna b. 1915....but there must be more.

Yes, there seem to be a great many Anna's. My Anna Knorr was the daughter of Heinrich and Helena (Sperling) Knorr of Grosswerder Russia. The Knorr family immigrated to Canada in 1908.

I know it's been a couple years since this was posted, but I do have some of the information you are asking for from a couple of sources.
I have just recently located and have been conversing by email with Morris Knorr, the author of "German/Catholic Courage. From the steppes to the Prairies, The Life and Times of Adam Knorr 1870-1952".
He also has another book available. To quote a recent email "Last summer my wife and I travelled with 2 Scheck's back to Grosswerder Ukraine where our family came from. I've written a history of Grosswerder with many pics. etc."

I don't have the books yet, but I have arranged to have the first one reprinted and to purchase a copy of the second one.

As for Eva's siblings, I have that and quite a bit more of the family tree from a different source, whom I'm also hoping to get in touch with soon. Looks like they had a very large family!

Hello there,

Obviously we are related through the family tree. Morris Knorr is my first cousin. His father and my mother were brother and sister. I have his first book and am awaiting the second book. I also have quite a bit of information. If you would like to email me directly it is chdreier@shaw.ca.
