Yochums From Western PA - Saarland/Neuenkirchen Germany - Schröcken Austria

Yochums From Western PA - Saarland/Neuenkirchen Germany - Schröcken Austria

Surnames: Yochum Jochum
If you like, the family tree that I have constructed highlights one family of Yochums from Western Pennsylvania. The tree's line extends back 15 generations and nearly 600 years to Saarland/Neuenkirchen Germany, then to Schröcken Austria.

Although we had information on a couple people "in the old country", sincerest gratitude is extended to the author of "Sippenbuch von Schröcken" (Clanbook of the town of Schrocken), by historian Hans Matschek. Through his tireless efforts, he has uncovered a line of Yochums/Jochums that extend back into the 1400's.

Schröcken is a small town in the Alpine region of Austria that is situated about mid-way between Munich, Bavaria, and Zurich Switzerland, and slightly south-east of the Bodensee. Before 1800, three quarters of the residents were called "Jochum". Some of these Jochums emigrated to the Saarland, then onto the USA.

My grandmother was Anna Christine Yochum, born in Sharpsburg, PA in 1868. Her mother was Magdalene Seifried who married a Yochum who was born in Germany. I believe his first name might have been Joseph but I am not certain. He would be my great grandfather, of course. Your information might help me.

Surnames: Yochum, Jochum
I am researching a Nicholas Jochum who was born in Merchweiler, Neunkirchen,Saarland Germany abt 1824. He emigrated to US landing in Port New York in 1854. They arrived in Dubuque County, Iowa, in 1856. His son Nicholas moved to Harrison County, Iowa. His family and descendants spelled their surname Yochum. I found a source on Ancestry.com entitled " Jochum from Austria to Iowa" by Rene Daubenfeld. This vaguely records a Jochum lineage back through Merchweiler and Wemmetsweiler to Schrocken, Austria (abt 1565).

I would very much like to exchange info. Is the Matschek resource available? I am very curious as to their trek to Iowa. Hope we can enrich each other's work.

Elizabeth's father was Martin and he lived in Jungper, Germany. She was born in May of 1870 in Germany. Her brothers were August and Bartholomew. This is all that I know about her except the fact that she married August Kleiss. Thanks!
