Hello Christiana~I have two Josts in my family. My grandmother Rosina Ofner Wolff was born in Klein Murbisch, Austria in 1908 and HER grandmother, Maria Jost was born in Gussing, Austria in 1850. She married Franz Ofner (b1841 in Austria). Her father was Georg Jost, born 1821 (unknown place) who married Anna Wagner b 1821 (unknown place). Also, my grandmother's family (Ofners) came to America in the early 20's and I remember her telling me she worked in a cigar factory in Colplay, PA. They returned to Austria a few years later because of family.
There has to be some connection to your documentation! I could not find any more info, I am at a dead end. Do you know any more since you wrote your post?
Thanks for any input.

Hello Krista !
Maybe I can help you with some informations about Georg Jost. I am a dealer of antiques and old art objects in Heidelberg (Germany) and recently I got some old oil paintings from an artist who was called Georg Jost. It was not possible to find out much about him, but it seems that he had lived and worked in Ilvesheim, a village that is very close to Mannheim and that he participated at exhibitions of the Mannheim artists in the 1920ies or 1930ies. The quality of the paintings is so good and professional, that he must have visited an art school or academy, these are not works of a hobby painter. Maybe you are interested. I have tried to attache a foto, hope it works.

Hello, I am looking for relatives of Georg and Magdalene Jost. They resided in Germany and had a family of fifteen children. The youngest was a daughter who's first name is Brunhilde. Her married name is Brunhilde Brettschneider. She resides in Vancouver, BC, Canada. She had three brothers all of who were killed during the second world war. She may have a nephew in Breisach, Germany named Hans Peter Muller. We are urgently seeking to find her relatives. I do not have anymore information at this time.

maryacrabe_1 — 2011-02-18 00:55:16Z

Are you part of this family?
John F. Jost born about 1903 near Pierre, South Dakota. He met and married Madeline Frennett in San Diego, CA. I am trying to find info to past to a cousin and locate a Frennett family bible that Madeline had at one time. Her grand daughter does not know what happened to it. I am hoping that it went into the Jost family and did not get thrown out. It is a long shot but I thought I would post this.
Thank you Jost family.

Could be...my father James Herman Jost was born in Chicago but I have no birth records for his father, Joseph George Jost. These are names I've found on various certificates...P.C. Jost, Anna Jost, Esther Jost. Could P.C. be Paul? Do you have any records/certificates??

You should be aware that the borders in Europe fluctuated on a regular basis. It is possible that you family records could be in Germany. Example: My 3rd great grandfather was German, but I found his baptism record in a Polish church record.

Re: Jost in Chicago Area

JJost7632 — 2010-07-28 12:12:34Z

It doesn't look like a match at this point - too bad. When you do get back to researching the Jost line keep me in mind. Some day I plan on spending a full day at the Archdiocese of Chicago to chase-down more Jost info. Don't hold your breath - I've been saying this for years!

Good searching,
John H. Jost, Wisconsin

Re: Jost in Chicago Area

JJost7632 — 2010-07-27 20:26:15Z

I haven't worked on this in some time and I never did determine if my family came from Germany, Austria or elsewhere. If you can match any of the following names to your GGfather's siblings, we may have something: Joseph George Jost, P.C. Jost, Anna Jost, Esther Jost. These are names I've found on various certificates...

Thanks,
John H. Jost, Wisconsin

I have been researching our family, Jost's came from Germany. My GGfather (Friedrich George Jost/Yost)came to the Illinois area in the 1880's. Married in Cook county.
I am unable to find anything but his siblings names and B-dates. Wondering if we could be connected somehow?

Georg Jost

KristaHold — 2010-07-18 20:03:38Z

Looking for information concerning the family of my great-grandfather Georg Jost (Jöst or Joest), born March 21, 1913 in Heddesheim bei Mannheim, Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg, Germany and died May 4, 2000 Tuttlingen, Tuttlingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. He married Klara Hiestand of Eßlingen.

His father was Michael Jost and his mother's name was Margarethe, although that's all I have. I do not know if he had any brothers and sisters.

He was drafted into the German army during World War II. I am also looking for where I might find records of this, as at the moment I simply have my grandmother's word for it.

Any help that can be spared would be awesome.

Jost's of Tschestereg

dyost72 — 2010-05-28 17:22:06Z

I am searching for information about my Greatgrandfather, Paul Jost who was born in Tschestereg on 28 August 1883 to Peter Jost and Katherine (FUCHS) Jost. He came to the US arriving on 13 January 1907. He lists his 'nephew" as Nikolous Fuchs who first came to the US in 1903. He returned to Tschestereg in early 1904 and returned with his wife Katharine and daughter Eva. Katharine Fuchs may have been the sister of Peter Temeri, also of Tschestereg, who joined nikolaus in the US in 1930.

Other than the information above I have not been able to locate any information on the Jost Family in Austria-Hungary. Any information or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Jost / Yost: New York City

pgraesser — 2008-03-27 19:44:49Z

I recognize the Michael listed in this message. I don't know if I am related to him and there were many other Josts in NYC at this time.

This Michael was married to a Sabina Jost. They mostly lived at 233 Ave. A. They had three children:

Mathias Jost (born around 1842, ?Horchheim?, Hessen
m. Hulda Kirchhof in NYC in 1872)
Rosalie Muller
Barbara Gerner Junker

Sabina was born around 1812 and died on 7-21-1892 at 80 years in NYC. Her will is kept at the City Courthouse.

Michael is no longer listed in the City Directories by the mid 1860's.

I have an ancestor named Elizabeth Jost (married Kraemer) who was born and died in New York City (c. 1839-1902). Her parents were supposedly from Alsace and supposedly named John G. and Elizabeth nee Kiehl. I am looking for more information on these two out of Alsace.

If anyone knows anything about an Elizabeth Jost who married a Charles Kraemer (817 6th Ave.), or her parents John and Elizabeth Jost from Alsace, I would like to exchange notes.

Their two children:
Elizabeth A. Kraemer (b.1871, m. Otto Graesser)
Louise Kraemer (b.1874 m. Charles Kleinknecht).

Thank you. Paul Graesser

I am looking for information on my children's paternal family. I was married to Dannie Jost in NM in 1971 and had two children with him. His father was Allen Jost and his mother was Nathalie McDermid Jost. Allen's father was Gus Jost, and was from Durant, Iowa (I believe). Gus was married to Claire, but this was his second wife. I never learned his first wife's and Allen's mother's name. Gus was a long time employee of the railroad. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Oh, I do know that Gus emigrated from Denmark sometime in the early part of the last century. Thanks.
