Janet,

As we all know, we have to be careful with surnames and the origin of
families who came to the US (some Koch's from Germany and some Germans from
Russia who had migrated to Russia in the last 1700s). As a member of the
Oregon AHSGR, there was a large Koch family who were Germans from Russia.
As a matter of fact, our President, Dr. Ray Koch has a lot on his family who
came to NE Portland and were garbage haulers.
