Another Janson heard from

Remember the post last week about Joe Janson?  I e-mailed him, he answered, and forwarded the e-mail to his brother, Tom....who (duh) lives within 10 miles of my house.  Tom said he's collected lots of Janson history over the last few years.  In fact, "Some years ago, Glenn and I stayed with relatives in Horrenburg, and visited the church in which our grandfathers were baptized and our great grandparents were married. We also ate at the restaurant our great, great, great grandfather, Georg, owned and sold to pay legal fees. He sold it to a fellow named, Knopf. Knopf's great, great, great grandson, Walter Knopf, still owns the restaurant (Der Wildenman--The Wild Man)".  (Glenn is Tom's cousin, son of Sebastian's son Joeseph).

"The Janson cousins (Kai and Lars) gave me a family book of Horrenburg/Deilheim, with a fantastic family tree of all the town families, including the Jansons and the Fuchs (Franziska). The house is still called the Fuchs house and we met the lady who now lives in it. The fellow who wrote the book is a guy named Ronellenfitch"...Cool!  There are Ronellenfitchs in our tree (as well as in Buckman).  With any luck, Tom, Glenn and I'll get together soon to compare notes.  Hooray!
