William & his mother Opal (Hart) Koranda recently published their initial Hart Family Book at the annual Hart Family Reunion on Saturday, August 10, 2002 held in Marshfield, WI. The Koranda Family Book was published in September 2003. The Koranda Family Reunion is generally held the second Saturday in July in Hatfield, WI at Lake Arbutus.

William's great grandparents, Vit & Maria (Kocar) Koranda were born in the 1830's in Bohemia, Czechoslovakia (cities not known) and immigrated from Trebon in Bohemia to the U.S. in 1884. They eventually settled in Town of Komensky, Jackson County, WI with their initial land purchase there in 1895. William's grandparents, Joseph Frank & Mary Katherine (Padrta) Koranda were born in Tabor and Ceske Budejovice, Bohemia, respectively. Vit & Maria's Czech baptismal certificates have been obtained and further research in Czechoslovakia will be pursued.

William's maternal great, great grandparents Frederick (Herzog) Hart 1815-1893 & Anna Barbara Hershel 1820-1912 were born in Wilhelmine (near Schlawe) and Kaslin, Germany, respectively. They immigrated to the U.S. in 1872 making their home in the Town of Alma, Jackson County, WI. No research has been done in Germany to-date.
