[Paulina JAUCH c. 1900 Buffalo, NY]

Descended from Ludwig JAUCH and Paulina GLUNZ's daughter, Paulina JAUCH. Photo to left is Paulina JAUCH, ~1900, Buffalo, shortly before her marriage to John Patrick SCHMIDT.

Research Question: What happened to Ludwig, his father and siblings after their 1847 departure from Schwenningen and before he arrives in Buffalo in 1867?

Jim Bucholtz Descended from Ludwig Jauch's son, William Walter Jauch (1875-1931) who married Anna Osswald (1879-?). There are many JAUCHs from this line still living in Buffalo. Jim's uncle, Robert Jauch, is most familiar with the details, but does not (at this point) have email.
 

Descendants of Martin JAUCH (b. Schwenningen) and Marie MEIER
Jean M. Emerson

Kevin Enser Kevin is descended from Agnes JAUCH (b. Germany), daughter of Martin JAUCH and Marie MEIER; Agnes first married Emil Emminger, had three children and was then widowed. She then married Charles (Karl) Wunsch abt 1890 and lived up on Cole Road it what was then East Hamburg (now Orchard Park). Kevin is descended from this second marriage.

Researching Schwenningen JAUCHs that settled elsewhere

California JAUCHs and YAUCHs
A large number of the California Jauchs originated in Switzerland, but at least one branch is of Schwenningen:

Jillaine Smith

I would love to be in touch with descendants of this Thomas. I have a HUGE amount of data to share with you.

Thomas Stephen Jauch or Yauch was born 2 Feb 1878 in Ohio. He died 30 Aug 1951 in Madera Co., CA. His grandfather (another Thomas) was the emigrator, who left Schwenningen in 1854 and settled in Staunton, VA. Thomas's father (yet another Thomas) moved from Virginia to Ohio (where this Thomas was born), then Kentucky. But the third Thomas (this one), emigrated to Madera County, CA. He m1. abt. 1903 Lusia Unknown, b. abt. 1881 in California of Swedish parents. They had one daughter:
  • Frances Yauch, b. abt. 1904 California; she married abt. 1920 Willis G. Peabody, b. 19 Jun 1893 in California; d. 28 May 1965 in California. They had two children:
    • Wilda Y. Peabody, b. 22 Aug 1920 CA
    • Tomas A. Peabody, b. 13 Sep 1923 CA; he died 5 Mar 2002 in Rupert, Minidoka, ID

Thomas Stephen Yauch m2. abt. 1924 Annie Serena Jacobson, b. 1 Jan 1894 in Norway; she d. 9 Aug 1956 in Madera Co., CA. They had at least two children:
  • Thomas R. Yauch, b. 10 Jul 1924 Madera Co., CA; d. 20 May 1974 Fresno, CA
  • Bernard Stephen Yauch, b. 3 Aug 1927 Madera Co., CA; d. 5 Jun 1998 Alameda, CA

Colorado JAUCHs

Caroline Herbaut, France.

Christian Jauch, b. 1792 Schwenningen; m(2) 1829 Maria Link, b. 1801 Schura. Both died in Schwenningen. Six children. Caroline is researching:
  • Elias Jauch, b. 23 Oct 1836 Schwenningen; m. abt. 1862 Marie Heckle in Colmar, France. Caroline is descended from their son Christian Elias, b. 1863. But Father Elias left his wife and child in France and emigrated to the U.S. around 1869 or 1870. We first find him in NYC in the 1870 census; he ends up in Denver, CO where he dies 8 Dec 1894, apparently without having remarried. His son, Christian Elias, marries in Paris in 1890.

Researching JAUCHs from Hungary

Lorraine Boettcher
both Lorraine and Kenneth are researching JAUCHs from Kernei, Hungary.

Lorraine's emigrating JAUCH was Marianna JAUCH (1910-1973), born in Kernei, Hungary, dau of Matthias JAUCH and Katharina FATH; d. Bronx, NY; m. Andreas Schmidt (1906-1997).

  • Anna JAUCH (1879-1962), dau of Anton JAUCH and Anna MUELLER; d. in Chicago, IL; m. Peter Schlachter (1879-1956); he also died in Europe, making me believe Anna did not emigrate until after 1956.
