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. Shirley Hurrell H-177 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janice M.

There were lots of Koch/Cook families I am sure, I am looking for one that was in PA and this wasn't it. I figured that I should share if at all possible, if any one was interested. Janice Janice M.

My father-in-law's mother was a Koch from Norka Russia. They immigrated with her brother Henry Koch's family. As the sons grew to adulthood prior to WW2, two of them changed their names to Cook. The mother's obit lists her sons as one named Koch and two named Cook.
