Like I said before, we seem to be having trouble finding clues. That is until now with Hondo finding the ones you inserted.
If Jason does not want any of them back, why is he bugging Fernando?

Of Jason:
Jason wants what was, not what is or what will be. He thinks that in recovering those who were lost, like his wife, that things would go back to how they were. This is not possible. Too much time has passed and the missing person would have definitely had changed because their living situation and environment has changed. His wife would no longer be his wife but somebody else as she would have changed herself in order to live in the situation she is in.
Jason is not the leader of the group as he makes himself out to be. But because this is a patriarchical world, he is the one that represents the group. But women like General Jastrey, Lieutenant Benson, and Mrs. Clean that patriarch structure is wearing down, giving women power when they had little or none. Thus the women of the group lead it and not he. He thinks that if he can regain his wife Wendy, who once ruled the group with her cousin Wilma that he can regain the position of power and influence he had under Wendy. Thus he wants Wendy as she was, not what she is or has become. If Wendy is out there as a wessen who does not remember who she was as Wendy, her return to Jason means nothing for he has gained nothing from it.
Why is he bothering Fernando? Because he sees that Fernando is helping others and asking little in return – just do chores that help out the others in the camp, whatever is required of them to do. He thinks that he can swindle the group from doing nothing himself and get the maximum return from it. He thinks that he can get Fernando to find or rescue his wife; the latter stating that he might know where she is if she is a captive. But where she disappeared is far out of their way to the South East some many miles. It would take days to get there and they them away from Gabrielle who is in the South West.
But again, Jason thinks Fernando is Francisco and thinks that Francisco can lead him to Fernando. In his mind, he feels that he is being mislead and cheated out of a chance to deal with the person he thinks he can deal with to get a “free rescue.” Remember – Jason and his group are “rescuers” of sorts, but “rescuers who demand a price for their service.” If he thinks he can get a free rescue out of the deal, he will try to get it.
Of others:
This is the list of the missing, as stated here:
http://www.hondosackett.com/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1428938728/2372#2372 Look at the clues:
Most males are killed. That would leave the younger males and all of the females as possible survivors.
Of those possible survivors, look at the age and when they disappeared. How old would they be now?
Of those surviving as an older person of their former self, how many were turned into wessens or not?
That third question is loaded because we do not know that answer. It could be some, or all or none. The second question is also loaded as it makes one thinks that they all survived when they could not have. There is a possibility that some could have survived. There is also that possibility that none survived. The same applies to being kept as humans vs. being turned into wessens.
The thing is this, out of everyone the group has encountered, who fits the description of the missing that Jason is over looking.

If, and it is a big IF, some of his relatives are alive, then they are near by but he can not see them because they are not what they used to be and he is looking for what they used to be not what they could be. So he is looking for something that is not there. It's like looking for caterpillars after they had turned into butterflies. They are still there but in a different form.
While discussing other things in the FB Chat, I asked Hondo if he knew who are those that is nearby that Jason can not see. He managed to get it after a while of thinking. You need to go back and reread the descriptions of those the group have encountered and compare them to the list.
