Surnames: Wachs Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BBB.2ACI/1994 Message Board Post: Does anyone have ties to the Wachs families who lived in the Covington area since the 1860s? I know various members of the family were tinners and Selmar Wachs had a clothing store. I am descended from George Wachs b.1871, son of William Wachs b. 1839.
