I never knew there were any other Yoos' out there.
All my life the only Yoos' I knew were all related to me. I am from NC.

My Great Grandfather Gottlieb Yoos (born 5/13/1856 Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany) married Hedwig Matilda Dreyfuss (born 6/7/1864) in Charlotte, NC 8/2/1894

His father was Gottlieb Joos 10/1/1813-1/26/1894 (notice how the J became a Y when the family came to the U.S.)

I have some info that dates back to 7/14/1750
which is my GGGG Grandfather of Honnegg, Germany.

Anyone else out there have any info on them?

Thanks in adavnce.
My other email address is adyoos@yahoo.com

I am the same as you, I have not found another Yoos except my immediate family in the Detroit area of Michigan, until 2 years ago. I moved to NC for a few years and worked in a bank in Smithfield and met a girl that came in there and her last name was Yoos and she told me the same story about it being spelt as Joos, is this girl related to you? She did tell me that her father had been trying to search for things on this name. My grandfathers name was William Yoos he was born in 1907 in Ohio. He had 2 brothers John and Fred, and 2 sisters Hilda and Louise. My grandfathers parents were born in Germany and their names were Emma Schneider and John Yoos.

Andy,

I've researched our Yoos/Joos family in Pittsburgh back to the ship they immigrated on, the Labrador, in April 1881. What I don't know of are any siblings of my great grandfather Jacob Joos. Do you know if the immigrating ancestors you've mentioned had siblings and how far out they might have spread?

Hello Andy, My name is Kim Hughes. My GGG Grandfather's name was Leonard Michael Joos and he had a brother named Jacob Joos. This Jacob Joos was born in 1816 in Switzerland . The town is very near the German border. My GGG Grandfather was born 16 Aug 1819 and died 5 Apr 1900 in Bollinger,MO. He married Mary Agnes Reilley. The name Joos was changed to Hughes, soon after he came to this country.
