Looking for Emanuel history...
My family is very poor at keeping family records. My father's name is Richard and my Grandfather's name is William Emanuel who married Dorothy Dawson. We all reside in Missouri. My grandfather had a major fallout with his family and refuses to speak about anyone on that side. The entire Emanuel side of my family is lost to me. Does anyone know of any Emanuels who came to the St. Louis area? What country did the name come from? Any info would be great!

Hi Janet, I had an uncle Costas Emanuel who was married to my mother's sister. As I remember he was from Greece. I don't know anything about his lineage or if he had relatives who had gone elsewhere.
If you like I will send what I do have - it isn't much tho
Regards
Donald

My maiden name is Emanuel and my grandfather came from Greece in the early 1900's and settled in the Boston area

I wonder if we are related! My grandfather was Costas Emanuel from Greece who was married to Eva who was originally a Prario, all from the Boston area.

Lorraine - My Costas was married to Eleanor Grimes and lived in Williamsport, PA. He came from Greece and had a shoe shop in Williamsport. That's about all I know of his background. Sorry I couldn't help.

Hi Lorraine, My father was Basil Q. Emanuel son of Fotis Emanuel who had a twin brother Costas. They lived in the Quincy area. I am wondering if you and I are related? I am interested in finding out more info on this family. Hope to hear from you. Thank you, Elaina

Hi Elaina. Was your Dad a photographer for the Quincy Patriot Ledger? And was he the brother of F George Emanuel. You grand parents should be Annie and Fred or Fotois Emanuel. I think we are related! My grandfather was Costas G Emanuel of Quincy. I do have some info to share with you. I hadnt checked this site in a long time. Hope to hear from you. Lorraine

Hi Lorraine, Yes we are related. My father was Basil the photographer. Our Grandfathers were twin brothers. I tried to contact you but your e-mail was changed and I never thought I would hear from you. I am so happy to find you. I have wanted to communicate with someone from the Emanuel family for years. Thank you. Send me an e-mail at my adress and I will send my phone # to you and we can talk if that is okay? Elaina

Hello, Some of his info is confusing as his military enlistment shows "divorced without dependents" on 8/20/42-did he and Eleanor get divorced prior to his enlistment?
