History of the Emmers &
Ariens
Families
Gerhard & Theodore Emmers (Click to Enlarge) I am descended through Heinrich
(Henry) Emmers who is a brother to Anna. Anna's sister, Mary, married
a John Peters, but they do not seem to be directly related.
William Peters and his family are in
the 1900 and 1910 Federal Census of Clark County, Wisconsin. Anna is
alternately listed as Anna and Johanna. I am descended through
Anna's (Hanna's) brother, Heinrich. Their parents were Gerhard Emmers and
Maria Ariens who were born in the Netherlands.

This picture was also taken around 1900. The old lady in
the rocker is Maria Ariens Emmers. The adult female seated to Maria's
right is Aleida Huls Emmers and her husband, Theodore Emmers is the only
adult male in the photograph. Since Maria live with her daughter,
Catharine Emmers School, when the 1900 census was taken and she died in
Catharine's home in Dec. 1903 I presume that this picture was probably
taken at Catharine Emmers School's home. Catherine would be in her
late 50's and I take the woman standing to the left of Maria to be her
daughter Catharine Emmers School. © Every submission is protected by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act

are by
knowing their sex and dates of birth. If anyone can positively identify
them as being otherwise please let me know. If you can locate more
