Question

Is this Yokom family originally from Holland/Netherlands

Answer 1

What family do you mean? Yokom doesný sound Dutch, but maybe it was spelled differently before they moved.

Can you give a little more information. Send me a private message if you need help.

Answer 2

No, the Yokom (Joachim, Jochim) name came from Germany. Many settled in Pennsylvinia and were known as Pennsylvania Duetch therefore giving the impression that they were from the Netherlands. Until I researched my husband's ancestry, he always thought he was Dutch.
