[Michael Stockhausen]

Dan,
in Standard German the "s" in Hirsekorn is pronounced like in pleasant.

My grandparents surnamed Hirsekorn emigrated from Volhynia in 1906 and
1907.  The birth certificate for their son (from the Polish Baptist church 
in
Lucinow) is in Cyrillic, spelling the surname in a way that suggests that
the  s was pronounced like the s in English `vision' or `pleasure'.  Do any 
of
you know of a German dialect in which `Hirse' would have been so
pronounced?  (This would explain why others occasionally spelled the 
surname as
Hirschkorn.)
