Hello to all you Co-Goerners,
I'm Felix Goerner (still written with an o with two dots above, instead of oe), Vienna, Austria. Up to now, I haven't been into genealogy, because I rather reflect on people's characters, interests and deeds than on their names. And genealogy still is a quite patriarchalic thing.
So, I stumbled in here by mere accident - and curiosity, of course. Why the matter made me more curious is, because being a politically active person I am used to get in touch with folks around the globe (mainly electronically), and I like experiencing the meaning of the phrase >Die Welt ist klein< (roughly: the world is small / look how small the world is) resp. >Die Welt ist ein Dorf< (roughly: the globe's but a [mere] village).
And I didn't expect to find several Goerners in the States within a few minutes - I rather expected some in Austria and, perhaps, (northern) Bohemia.
My curiosity just awoke - if you want to know more from the region of our forefathers' (unfortunately, not necessarily our foremothers') roots, just send me an email.
Sincerely,
Felix Goerner (with an o bearing two dots)
