Hello to all,
I am descendant
OCHS also but mine as far back as I can get are 1720's in Varsad, Tolna County, Hungary and before that most likely
Hesse as just about all people who settled in Varsad in the 1720's were
Hessian. Also my
LOTZ came to Tolna County around the same period from Storndorf/OberBreidenbach, Hessen-Darmstad it looks like also.
Also, there is a massive
LOTZ family who came to Izmeny, Tolna Co, Hungary in the same period that was from Schluchtern, Hessen.
Anyone want to try to make an
OCHS or
LOTZ connection to 2 of the largest families in the Swabische Turkei?? Please contact.
Thank you,
Dan
