Emerick b.11Mar1822 in Germantown, Butler Co.,OH, His father was Jacob Emerick Sr. b.5Dec1795 Tulpehocken Twp., Berks Co., PA., d.1871. Someone in a book tells his father is William Emerick. I haven't proved this yet. Is anyone researching this line ? - Contact: Karen

My great grandmother Annie Irene Emerick , (b.Dec1847 or 1858) came from a large family, all of whom died before
she did in 1934. The only siblings I have any information on is Margaret Jane Emerick (b.2 Sept. 1865) in Centre Hall, Centre Co., PA. The parents of these 2 women were: Mary or Margaret Hess (b. 1843)
Centre Co., Pa. and John James Emerick (b. 1839) Centre Co., PA. Annie's obit states she was a direct descendent of the Emerick family involved in the Emerick/Astor dispute. I have reason to believe that John and Mary moved to Butler County, Pa. and may have died there. I cannot find an obit for them in Centre Co. Primarily I am interested in finding the other siblings of Annie, hopefully there were some boys who carried on the family name and legend.

I'm searching for the parents and siblings of my GGrandmother Anne Emerick (b.1847). Her death certificate states her father as James Emerick and her mother as Mary Hess. I think Anne had a sister Jane and they came from Butler or Snow Shoe, (Centre County) Pa.
Anne married David Love, a Union veteran and they lived in Bellefonte where his name is enscribed on the soldier's monument.- Carol Casner

1774 in Etten). Christina Emmerik died on 12Dec1849 in Bergh,
(Netherlands). They had (at least) one child: Christina Antonia
Verhey. I don't know were to search in Germany for Christina Emmerik.
Any help would be appreciated. - Thanks, Leo Koenen (Netherlands).

Two of us in Canada are
interested in the life and career of Col. Andreas Emmerich
who fought on the British side. Evidently he came from Europe
as a volunteer, a soldier of fortune, who conceived the idea of
raising soldiers from among Germanic settlers, e.g. Penn., N.Y.
and New England. Later his troops were split up and allotted to
other officers units. He returned to Europe, petitioning for compensation
for his services and expenses. I am interested in his genealogy
from the point of view of whether he came from an armigerous family
- (heraldry is my hobby). My aquaintance is a Loyalist librarian,
and is interested in his role as leader of Loyalist soldiers.

My GGG grandfather is George Emerick according to records I received from the cemetery
where my GG grandfather (Levi Emerick) is buried. The cemetery
records only indicated Levi's father was George Emerick. I have
no birthdate, birthplace or spouse. Levi was born 12 Mar 1852
in Ohio, m. Sarah Snider 1 Jul 1880 in Celina, Mercer County,
Ohio and died 6 Mar 1937 in Mercer County. One of Levi's daughter's
(Mary Elizabeth b. 11 Apr 1882 Coldwater, OH, d. 2 Jan 1953 Indianapolis,
IN, m. Harry Mathew Marks 1 Dec 1898 Coldwater, OH. They had six
other children: Cynthia, David, Biron, Temperance, Roy and Charles.
Levi and Mary's marriage record show the name Emrick and Emerick.
I am searching info on George Emerick and his line as well as
the Marks line but not having much luck.- Yvette

- Christopher - Johannes & Barbara Daniel Emerich
Thank you for letting me know ( about the Emmerich page). I told
my grandmother, who was very happy to see work being done on the
family tree.
According to page 604 of the Compendium of American Genealogy,
Christopher came over with eight children, his two brothers,
and that his wife died at sea.
There was also an Andreas Emerich on the same ship, the
Charming Molly.
The family tree (Christopher) you have listed for him may be his
children from the second marriage, as he was 50 years old
when the first child was born. Otherwise, they might be the children
of one of his eight that came over with him.
I was given the family tree by my late
great-uncle, William Emerich. He takes our branch back
through to Christopher Emerich via John Emerich,
born July 12, 1798, son of John Emerich, Sr.,
born July 12, 1760, who was the son of Christopher Emerich,
the brother of John Nicholas Emerich.
If my uncle was wrong, or if any one knows what happened to the
eight children, please let me know.
When comparing the family trees, my
branch would join Christoff's at 121255000 with Johannes Emerich
and Barbara Daniels. This concurs with a copy of an Emerich
family tree I was sent that was written by Kenneth D. Haines.
This issue has been a bone of contention with my grandmother.
She remembers the family meetings held throughout Pennsylvania
regarding the infamous will. She strongly believes that there
is an error in these trees, that the family tree investigated
by my great-uncle, her brother, is the accurate one. My uncle's
version lists the father of Johannes as John Sr.,
son of Christopher Emerich. - Myley Moyer
