Re: Your posting of 16 Sep 2009 5:42 PM. My Emanuel family did not arrive until about 1880. WIlliam is a common name through the generations. I believe that I have correctly traced to a James, born ca 1801, Hanover Square, Monmouthshire, Wales. His son, William, born circa 1829, Trevethin, Monmouthshire, Wales, probably is the William of 1880 Census, Shenandoah, Schuylkill, Pennsylvania. William married Harriet Jones, born ca 1835 Mangotsfield, Gloucestershire, England. Harriet died 20 Oct 1886 in Shenandoah.
Best regards,
Bill McCole
