Hello: It's been over 5 years since your post - I hope you are still interested in the Yoerger line. I am preparing to spend a week in Salt Lake City doing research and hope to unravel the Yoerger mystery. I actually have a copy of a document where my 2nd Great-Grandfather, Ignatius Yoerger signed his name Jorges. With the .. over the O.
He sailed from LeHavre, France - not sure what year but he married Sophia Shutt 10 March. 1837 having settled in Somerset, Ohio. They had 2 children George W (my great-grandfather) and Peter. Sophia died 19 May. 1848 and Enoch re-married a Mary Ann Shireman 3 Jan, 1854. They 4 more children: Albert, John, Margaret and Pius.
