However, no connection has been found between this family and the Rochester Yawmans. There is also evidence that a Russian family named Yawman immigrated to New York in the late 1800's. The YAWMAN name is unique and rare.Most YAWMANS in America are descended from five brothers who, along with their parents and two sisters, chose to leave the rest of their family in France and come to America.Although a German-speaking family, they emigrated from the Lorraine region of France in 1831, entered the United States at the Port of New York, and quickly settled in Rochester, New York.The parents of the seven children died of cholera in Rochester soon after arrival, in about 1832.There is evidence that some members of the family lived in the Schenectady area for a time, before eventually settling in Rochester.

Since the Family Tree Maker home pages are being de-activated, I have transferred all my data to another site, which is much easier to keep current.
