I've finally figured out that all the Jochims who came from Neu Kandel, Kutschurgan District, Odessa, Russia had a common ancestor, Nikolaus Jochim. One of Nikolas's sons was George, and one of Georg's sons was Peter, my great grandfather. One of Peter's sons was my grandfather, Joseph Peter Jochim. He left Neu Kandel in 1900 to avoid the draft into the Russian army. He settled in North Dakota, and married by grandmother, Josephina Ziegler, who was from Elsass. My mother Rose Jochim said there were Jochims living in Strasburg and Selfridge North Dakota when she grew up there. Please reply.
