My last name is Jez and my ancestors that immigrated to the United States also, listed their name is Jez. They immigrated to the United States in 1884. I have been trying to find records from what is today Czech Republic. When I use the Card Catalogue from ancestry I get a lot of German results especially from military records. That is when I am searching for documents in the old country.
So, in those records that are in the German language would my last name Jez be spelled differently?
