| Hello, As I continue with my research the reports listed below will change based on what I am working on. If you stopped by looking for a certain family report and it's not presently posted please drop me some a note and I'll try to change what is presently posted. The FOCHT and FRITZ research has progressed further than I expected when I started this. The harsh conditions imposed on the Germans in Austria-Hungary (Hungary/Romania and Yugoslavia) during the Communist controlled era and the present conditions with the Serbs in Yugoslavia has made this research very hard. Luckily I have gotten past the 'gap' in the records due to the Communist distruction. Regretfully some FOCHT descendants didn't get though the harsh times caused by the Tito regime, some were imprisoned and some died in work camps. ALL the FOCHT's lost what properity they owned. I have had the good luck of making contact with some of the FOCHT descendants who relocated to Germany to escape the hardships imposed by Hungary and Yugoslavia. I have letters and pictures posted below that relate to the new found family members. As for the METZGER and JONES research I have added little to what I have done through July 2002. All the databases are updated at the Jones Family Reunions normally held in July. I'm told the 2004 reunion will be in June on the 18th, 19th and 20th at Lake Waynoka in Clermont County, Ohio. Attendance varies year to year but normally 120-150 people attend the Saturday Meal with many more coming and going all weekend. Presently the Jones database starting with George Jones and Dora Smith Jones Nelson has about 374 descendants listed (which includes spouses and deceased members).
