The Corten family genealogy has been researched over, at least, the last 50 years. This work has been done by three Cortens who were mayors in Holland. Other such work has been done by others. The purpose of this eGroup is to enlist the help of others to join the many small branches of this family that exist in Belgium, Holland, England, France, Germany, the United States and Canada. The plan involves the posting of all data on the Net.
