In August of 1984 Patricia Emmert Manning and Nancy Emmert met at a family reunion held at Pinecrest Lake near Sonora, California. Little did we know that we were beginning an odyssey that would last almost 20 years. It would involve research trips to California, Kansas, Illinois, Tennessee, West Virginia, Virginia, and Pennsylvania as we carefully researched our family line back to the immigrant, Johan Philip Emmert. This research was published in an article in Heritage Quest in 1993.[1]
Our next challenge was to locate the ancestral village of Johan Philip Emmert. Through a combination of careful research and serendipity, Neckarelz, Baden, Germany was identified as his birthplace. He was baptized there 17 February 1704.[2] This research is detailed in the article “An Ancestral Village for Philip Emmert, Adam Stadler, and Susannah (Emmert) Stadler of Montgomery and Berks Counties” in the Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine[3], which is published by the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania .[4]
In the fall of 2002, Nancy and Patricia along with their spouses traveled to Neckarelz to visit the town. We hoped to meet some of our Emmert cousins still residing in the area. On October 3, 2003, (German Reunification Day), we hosted a gathering of about 30 cousins. It was a truly amazing experience.
