I started with my father and continued as far back on the paternal line as I could using multiple genealogy websites. This is what I have so far:
Carl Jossy
Rudolf Jossy 1884-1945
Peter Jossi 1861-1934
Peter Jossi 1817-1874
Jakob Josi 1748-1822
Peter Jossi 1786-1854
Peter Josi II 1717 - ?
Peter Josi I 1651 - ?
uncertain link
Hans 1626 - ?
Steffan 1587 - ?
Christen 1558-1628
Hans Josi 1533-1608
Christen Josi 1507-1557
Niklaus Josi 1505 or 1499?
I am not sure of the correctness of this line once we get to Jakob. I would love some help getting this line documented accurately with the ultimate goal of tracing it back to the Sanskrit ancestors of this name.
Who were these soothsayers and oracles that we descend from? I would like to know, wouldn't you?
