Not sure of your locations and names but I'm looking for the ancestors of Edna Yahr Schmidt. This Yahr family lived in Wisconsin, West Bend, Washington Co. She was born in 1895. She married Willilam Schmidt abt 1920. She had 2 brothers, Leroy and Herbert. Leroy also lived in West Bend, Herbert also lived in Wisconsin.

Are you in Milwaukee? Are you related to the Yahr's in Pittsburgh? Do you know if your family immigrated from Eastern Europe?

I'm really not informed about the Yahrs' earlier generations. However, I believe my grandfather came from Eastern Germany. Some of his brothers went on to Oregon or Washington. I don't know of any relatives in Pittsburgh. Again the exception, my nephew Terry Yahr was a resident of West Newton, PA for a couple of years as a pastor. I'm retired service and have lived in VA, Fl, MN, and presently live in IL. Two of my brothers still live in West Bend, WI. Edna's two surviving sons are retired. Donald I believe lives, at least he retired in St. Louis, MO. Warren retired in Madison' WI. What is your relationship to our clan?

Surnames: Yahr, Schmidt
My Dad's family is from the West Bend, Wisconsin area. I believe they were originally from the Milwaukee area. A cousin, Gary, believes that they came from Eastern Germany and some of the line settled in Oregon oer Washington. I'm picking his brain to see what he knows.

Why don't you write me directly at "Barbsanger@aol.com"?
My mother was a Yahr. However, no pastors in our family as we're Jewish. There may have been a connection several generations back, even so. My grandfather was Issac Yahr, but he died in Galicia---which is an area that was Austria-Hungary. My grandmother came here in 1921 with some of the children including my mother.
