This is the family of Colonel Carl Yost.

He thought at one time he knew how John G Yost was connected to the large YOST chart done by Dr. Pleve.

However, upon further research, it does not appear he was correct.

Therefore, if you have any information on this family, please let me know.

Thank you, Kathy Brehm LaPella

There has just come in information that John G Yost’s father wasn’t Johannes. This is being researched.

Descendants of Johannes Yost

Generation No. 1

1. Johannes1 Yost was born 10 Mar 1800 in Norka Colony, Saratov, Russia, and died 20 Apr 1865 in Norka Colony, Saratov, Russia. He married Catharina Bott Abt. 1843. She was born 05 Sep 1804 in Norka Colony, Saratov, Russia, and died 25 Nov 1882 in Harvard, Nebraska.

Notes for Johannes Yost:

2001: We do not know how this Johannes fits into the large Yost chart yet.

Apr 2011: Added these parents.



Child of Johannes Yost and Catharina Bott is:

+ 2 i. John G (not related yet)2 Yost I, born 06 Jun 1845 in Norka Colony, Saratov, Russia; died 08 Jan 1935 in Harvard, Clay Co, Nebraska.

Generation No. 2

2. John G (not related yet)2 Yost I (Johannes1) was born 06 Jun 1845 in Norka Colony, Saratov, Russia, and died 08 Jan 1935 in Harvard, Clay Co, Nebraska. He married Christina Schwindt 16 Feb 1869 in Norka Colony, Saratov, Russia, daughter of Nicholas Schwindt and Anna Kaser. She was born 15 Aug 1847 in Norka Colony, Saratov, Russia, and died 01 May 1927 in Harvard, Clay Co, Nebraska.

Notes for John G (not related yet) Yost I:

1. This is Col Carl Yost's line.

2. He was a farmer.

The Certificate of Death says:

Born: June 6, 1845 Norka, Russia

Died: Jan 8, 1935 Harvard, NE

Says: father John Yost: Russia

Informant Henry H Yost of Harvard Nebr

This information doesn't match anything that is on Dr. Pleve's chart for the YOSTS. HELP!!!!

5. This obit looks like his. ****much is not correct***

But the dates and names are off, for him and his parents.

I think the parents listed are part of the "mistake" made in mixing and matching the John's and Christina's.

Jan 2008: Received an email from Dean Yost updating his family.

Just for your information, all of the remaining members of the William.J. Yost & Anna E. Yost family have been having a family reuinion every three years. So far we have had reunions in Tennessee (1), Colorado (3) Nebraska (3) Indiana (2) and have the next one scheduled for August 2008 in Chatanooga, Tennessee. After each reunion we select a Host/Hostess to coordinate the next reunion & they usually select a location near their home in order to make the arrangements easier. Our reunions are always a Friday, Saturday and Sunday affair with lots of activities such as golf, swimming, shopping, plus many meals and happy hours filled with great fun. We even have an auction night where everyone is supposed to bring one or more gifts to be auctioned off as a fundraiser which pays for all the food and drink for a picnic. As an example, My Aunt Lois brought a Special Rolling Pin to one of the early auctions and my uncle Gene and I both wanted it really bad because we remembered all the great pies and noodles etc. that my Grandmother (Gene's Mom) used to make. Anyway, the rolling pin went for about $35.00 (I got it) and everyone really got a kick out of the bidding contest.
