ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This compilation of the Vohs family genealogy was undertaken with the encouragement of Mrs. Paul A. Vohs, Sr. (Edith Alexander). She provided much of the early assistance in getting this project started by providing access to her personal records and the correspondence and records of her husband. Her familiarity with the work that her husband had done while working on his family records enabled her to suggest a number of useful references. Mrs. Vera Dakin and Kathy Burns, both of the Miami County Genealogy Society, provided copies of key cemetery records and newspaper articles that helped establish relationships of the early Vohs family members of Miami County, Kansas. Maxine Kircher, Irene Schneider, Robert Vohs and Robert Burenheide generously provided information from their records. Many other individuals contributed their time and effort by providing personal records, providing information from the Kansas State census records and by providing information from a variety of other sources.

The efforts of the Miami County Genealogy Society in producing Cemeteries of Miami County, Kansas, and the Miami County Historical Society in producing Family Histories and Stories of Miami County, Kansas, were greatly appreciated. Without these two references much of what follows could not have been easily located nor would I have had a way to check and compare other sources of information. The Miami County Genealogy Society assisted in researching several topics. The microfilm records, Mikrofilme Aufgenommen von Manuskripten im Diozesanarchiv Limburg, Katholische Kirche Oberselters, of the Catholic Church archives for the Diocese of Limburg, Germany, and Mikrofilme Aufgenommen von Manuskripten im Diozesanarchiv Mainz, Katholische Kirche Lorch (Rheingaukrers) Kirchenbuch, 1606-1899, of the Catholic Church archives for the Diocese of Mainz, Germany, seen in the library of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints in Salt Lake City, provided information about the family's earlier history in Germany.

My thanks goes to Lynn Nelson of the Department of History, The University of Kansas for providing a place to put these records on the internet and Steve Chinn for helping to put these records on the Kansas Hertiage Server.

Updated 21 January 1995. This family history information is based on the manuscript The Vohs Families of Kansas prepared by Sean Furniss, 11094 Saffold Way, Reston, VA 22090, SeanBarry@aol.com.
