My Voth Family:

My Voth family were German Mennonites from Russia, who migrated to the United States with the major 1874 Mennonite migration from Ukraine to the United States. Andreas Pedersohn Voth was born in 1840 in the village of Antanofka near Ostrog in the region of Vohlynia. He married Helena Koehn. They had a few children before migrating and a few more after settling in Johnson County Iowa. Thier youngest daughter Caroline was my gr-grandmother. Sometime after the 1880 Census the family moved from a noteably Mennonite area of the county (Sharon Twp) to nearer Iowa City and at some point during this time Andreas became known as Andrew Peterson Fout, and all his children carried the Fout name.
