Even though there are a few Josz families in Poland, and I can go back to 1770 in research, I'm beginning to think it is not Polish &amp;quot;really.&amp;quot;  Any suggestions of where I could look since I have run out of church records with the 1770 people?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sandy&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It could be Josch, which written by Polish scibe gives Josz. I see 212 names in Germany&lt;br /&gt;
