Chris, thanks for replying. I am searching for any and all info about Emery(Emerich) and Knobel lineages. I saw several with the surname of Knobel, but I didn't have any names to tell if they were related to Maria Magdalena Knobel-Emery. Also, what country, ship name did the Knobel origin come from. I would love to have pics of Maria, Andrew, siblings, parents, birth-death dates, churches attended etc. Maria and Andrew are my g.g.grandparents. One of their daughters, Elizabeth married Levi Christein(Christine). I have been trying to learn about the Christein lineage too along with all of Maria and Andrew's children. I have located several, have a family tree with many names that needs updating terribly as it's so ancient. Also, I have my g. grandmother, Cecilia Christein's diary dated 1882 in which she was in her early to mid twentys when she wrote in it. She speaks of many relatives and was from Bethlehem, PA. Also, Elizabeth died and Levi married again. I wonder who the woman is he married. I have no info or name on her other than Cecilia mentioning in her diary that Levi remarried. Cecilia married Henry Spencer and he served in the Confederate side of the Civil War. I have no other info on him. I am supposing he was from VA, but not sure. Also, I would love to learn what the Knobel Family and Emerich Family were like. Do you have any info on them you can impart or newspaper articles? This is fascinating to me and I'm so glad to have a tie (you) to the Knobel-Emerich branch.
