Surnames: Yack - Herbst
My great grandfather was Simon, His son = Raymond was my grandfather. Ray's son George (Ray & George for sure from will county Illinois) is my father.
Got any natural artistic (painting & drawing) talent in your family....Herbst's are known for it. My mother has paintings still hanging on her walls after all these years by Irma Herbst. My father George, has amazing talent...his son Jon (my brother) is amazing as well. Seen any ads for Mark Shale in the past several years??? All done by a Yack. Several other business advertising & marketing that you've probably seen as well.

Dear Jana, Yes, there is artistic talent in the Yack family as well as carpentry skills. I would like to know the Herbst connection to the Yack surname - from marriage or from ancestry. Thank you for replying to my message. AlReta Yack Larson

Surnames: Yack/Yaklovich
In reply to message from Beth Kuchler: I am wondering if some of my Grandfather George Yack (Jaklovich) had some brothers who settled in Illinois. He was born in Metlika, Austria in 1870, migrated to U.S. in 1888, first settling in Colorado. I don't know if he came alone or with family or family coming later. I know that he named many of his sons
( 1 William) after his brothers. Hope there is a connection. Thanks. AlReta Yack Larson

Hi Alreta,
My husband's grandmother Irma Herbst (her birth name was Carrie, but she never used it) married Al Herbst. Irma was an artist and I have several of her paintings. Several of the Herbst men enjoyed building. You can email me at herbstdi@aol.com

My grandfather's name was William, I don't know if he had any brothers or sisters. My mother always said that some of our ancestors were from Alsace Lorraine. He could have been a son of George, the timing could be right. My mother was born in 1915.

Hello, my name is Candace McPheron, and I was born a Yack. My father's name is Kevin Lee Yack. I am writing to you because I know nothing about the family history. I've always wondered about how we got here and everything like that. Can you please help me? Thank-you

WRITE ME! I have much info about Joseph Yack, his wife Helene, and son Nicholas, and some about Marvin Yack. There were other siblings too. Let's figure this out together. I'd love to locate some of their descendents. kathykeroson@gmail.com
