What we still don't know

  • [LEAD, NOTHING ATTACHED] This page already reasons that the clerk's Willea on the 1884 marriage is very likely Wilhelmina. Two Wilhelmina Emrichs died in Queens, where her son Conrad lived, and both certificates are digitised and free: Emrich, Wilhelmina, 73 y, 15 April 1915, Queens, no. 1604 (b. ~1842, which makes her twenty at Conrad's birth) and Emmerich, Wilhelmina, 74 y, 11 June 1922, Queens, no. 2547 (b. ~1848). Neither has been attached to anything. What would settle it is the maiden name on the certificate: if it reads Wilbert, that is Conrad's mother. Finding 151.
  • Neither their birth, marriage, emigration nor death is recorded. They are known from one line each on their son's 1884 marriage record.
