Hi Jan....

My mother was a Yahr....from Galicia, a town called Ottynia which was then Austria-Hungary, became Poland and now is Ukraine. She came in 1921 with her mother and a few other siblings. Her father, Issac Yahr, died in Ottynia. He was in the forestry business. I think I've been told the name means "tree". Actually, in Europe, it's spelled "Jahr". Unfortunately, records and cemeteries in their town were pretty much destroyed so it's difficult to find out much about them. Would love to pursue this and see if there could be some connection way, way, way back. Write to me at "Barbsanger@aol.com". BTW, the other Jan wrote to me and forwarded your message to her. But, I'm still confused about who's who as all your family is new to me.
