These pages maintained by Allan G. Jost a retired professor from Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie University. As you might guess, I am a descendent (a GGGG grandson) of Johann Georg Jost (I fit into the tree here ). I've compiled all of this data, but I don't claim credit for all of the research behind it.

If you think you're related I'd be happy to hear from you! You can email me at allan.jost@gmail.com.

The data on the associated pages was compiled on a Macintosh computer using Gene 4.3.4 and formatted from a GEDCOM file using ged2html v2.4a.
