Well as you can see I am an Emahiser. I currently live in Waterville Ohio, but spent most of my life in Toledo Ohio. I was born in Toledo in 1944. I have three sons and a daughter: Robert Thomas 32, Donald Craig 30, Jenifer Dee 21 and Matthew Joseph 3.
My fathers name was Donald Leroy Emahiser - was born in Toledo, Oh July 21,1922 and died in August of 1988.
My Grandfather was Emmett Leroy Emahiser. Gramps died in 1972 I believe he was born in 1889 but I am not positive. Will have top look it up later. I am not sure where he was born but I do know that he spent most of his youth in a small towm called Malinta, Ohio. There still are quite a few Emahiser's in the Malinta - Napoleon Ohio area.
I have two brothers: Craig V. 50 years old and Kevin Donald 38 years old. Both are living within a few miles of me.
My grandfather came from a pretty good size family so I understand but that's about all I know. I have met a couple of his brothers and sisters over the years but it was a long time ago and I don't recall their names right now. We had a few reunions early in my
adult life - but that was at least 30 years ago and unfortunately I don't remember too many people.
I have met a cousin named Jim Emahiser who is my age and lived in Toledo. I know of an Uncle Clyde Emahiser. That's about all at the moment - maybe more as I go on.
Hope this helps us. Would like to find out when and how the Emahisers got to this country. As I recall my Grandfather did say (or I think he did) that his father or grandfather came from Germany.
Well all we need to do is fill in the blanks
