Beginnings in Sulza
As first family member a Joherr is regarded, whose widow Lena is chronicled 1495 in Bergsulza, later part of Sulza. Joherr or Jaherr translate as yes-man, Joch or Jauch stay for the synonymous however and seem to be a shift of the former. 1512 Jorge, Matthes and Nickel Jauch, being presumed to be their sons, were registered as propertied men (Besessene Männer) in Bergsulza. Görge Jauch (1606–1675) was burgomaster of Sulza. In the 17th century Sulza has been twice devastated, 1613 by a flood disaster (Thüringer Sintflut) and 1640 when it was plundered by Swedish troops. This may have been the motive for Johann Christian Jauch (1638–1718) to relocate to Güstrow.

Famous quotes containing the word beginnings:
“The frantic search of five-year-olds for friends can thus be seen to forecast the beginnings of a basic shift in the parent-child relationship, a shift which will occur gradually over many long years, and in which a child needs not only the support of child allies engaged in the same struggle but also the understanding of his parents.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
