Ludwig and Emma Yost
Ludwig Jost (Yost) was born on December 1, 1854 in Norka, Russia, the son of Heinrich Jost (born 1813 in Norka) and Katharina Bott (born 1815 in Norka).
Ludwig married Emma Pauly about 1874 in Norka. Emma was born on October 19, 1852 in Norka. Emma is probably Maria Pauly, the daughter of Johannes Pauly (born 1818 in Norka) and Margaretha Sauer (born 1818 in Norka), but this fact is not confirmed.
Ludwig and Emma's first child was a daughter, Emma, who was born about 1875 in Norka.
Shortly after Emma's birth, Ludwig and Emma decided to begin a new life in America. They immigrated to the United States in 1876 where they first settled in Ohio. A son, John was born there about 1877. The Yost family soon moved to Lynn Township in Clay County, Nebraska where a daughter, Christina, was born in 1879, and a son Wilhelm (William), was born on February 11, 1881.
By 1882, the Yost's were among the first Volga German families to settle in in Albina, Oregon. A daughter Katharina (Kate) was born in February 1883 and son Heinrich (Henry) was born in May 1886.
