 Notes for GEORG JORI YAGER:
From Susan Gehrig, Kirchbodenstr. 68, CH-8800, Thalwil, Switzerland, Tel 01/720 31 54: Surname: Up to 1927 the name of the family has been "Jager" (with umlaut over "a") (English=hunter) for generations. On 12.4.1927 (April 12, 1927) the name was officially changed to "Jeger." Members of the clan
who emigrated to the U.S.A> in 1800 changed their name to "Yager." It was registered on April 19, 1927, Davos. For generations they repeatedly used the same Christian names in the family. The Jager/Jeger family seems to have been quite wealthy and prolific. Quite a few members of the family emigrated to the U.S.A, there are remarks of North Dakota. One of the first who went to the U.S.A. seems to have been Paulus Jager, born on 14.2.1821 at Frauenkirch/Davos. He died in the United States, date of death is
unknown. The Jager/Jeger family comes from the two communities: Davos and Peist, the Grisons, Switzerland.
