I've picked up where my mom has left off several years ago, and in over a year of searching I have not been able to find any information on the EMEL/EMIL/etc branch of the family.
What I have is:
Mary E. (Elizabeth?) EMEL-EMIL- ect born June 1862 (no death date)
married in 1882 one Samuel McClellan : born July 1862 in Pennsylvania. Samuel's death date is listed as 3 April 1908.
if anyone has information on this missing ancester please contact me.
