Hi Pat,

My name is John Emmal. I suppose that I'm related to those you've listed. I'm the son of James Emmal, who was the adopted son of Thomas Emmal.

Tom's parents were William Simpson Emmal and Terry Ella McGrath. Terrence, Sally, Allen, Kate, William Bowen, Frank and Harry were Tom's siblings.
All except my father, were from the Lexington, Frankfort, Louisville areas of Kentucky.

William S and Terry Ella moved to Ensley (Birmingham), AL, in 1902 with their children.
Sallie, Frank, Tom, and my father are burried at Elmwood Cemetery in Brimingham. All the rest are burried at buried Lexington Cemetery., Lexington, Fayette, KY.

I'm certainly willing to share what I know about this family. I have several family artifacts and pictures along with some written and oral family history.

Please feel free to contact me.

John

Joseph B. Emmal, OBIT CA

Hi, I have an uncle who would like to know more about his lineage. He remembers his grandfather's name was Samuel Emel. I notice your board message said that all variations of Emmal, Emel, Imel come from the same place. I have hit a brick wall. Can you shed some light on these Emels? Thank you, Linda

My mom also remembers corresponding with you.(:
If by my grandma you mean Neva Minehart (my mom's mom and Edna's daughter-in-law), yes, she did pass on (Jan. 2, 2002). She was 93 years old.
I'm sorry but I wasnt real clear on the last part of your message. I dont have instant messaging if that's what you meant by "IM". What would be the next best way you could share the portion of the Immels book with me?
Do you know any of the answers to the questions I posed in my last message?
Thanks for your reply, Carol.(:

Hello, thank you for responding!(:
I live in Bettendorf, Iowa. Jill is my mother. She is into geneology some and my uncle Jack, having been a History teacher, has done considerable work with the Minehart family tree. I have done some geneology but on my father's side mostly since there arent as many people interested in researching their roots on that side of my family.
I heard about the Imel book (by Velma Byrum Keller) and would like to get a copy but its sounds like this is not an easy task. Have you heard of it?
I would like to know more about Jacob Imel - one of 4 brothers who came over from Hesse, Germany? I've heard he was commissioned in the Hessian ranks but went AWOL not long after arriving here. I'd like to know if this is true.
I would also be interested to know if Jacob was of Jewish descent, do you know this?
These are just some of the questions I have. I dont mean to bombard you and if anyone else is able to validate any of this info (I'd be interested in their sources too) I would very much appreciate it. Thank you and I look forward to hearing about any info you can provide.(:

Where do you live - and are you related to Jack or Jill? We live in Deep River as you might as guessed.

get back to me when you can

Thanks Carol and Ron Emal

Hi, I am the great granddaughter of Edna Emal (deceased). She had a brother named Clyde and it sounds like your husband is a descendent of Clyde's? I know that my great grandma came from Deep River so I'm assuming we're talking about the same Emals.
I was wondering what info you have to share on the Emal family history? I have visited the Mormon website and others. Any assistance you could provide would be appreciated.(:

Re: Emmal and Baker Families of Ky

2003-07-19 17:40:09Z

I would say since there are so few Emmal in this area and the
names we have are similar that they are relations because
the Terrance is in the family plot at the Lexington Cemetery
on E Main St and that is where my own brother's name came from as my mother was taken with it on a stone there???I wish the family had been more concerned with keeping their
artifacts and lineages but neither side of my folks kept any
thing and still do not really care one way or another about any of this-I am the odd one---

Re: Emmal and Baker Families of Ky

2003-07-14 17:02:34Z

Thanks for posting about your Emmal connections. I was inquiring because my mother's uncle was an Emmal and we had some Emmal family belongings. I have already placed them with the Kentucky Derby Museum. I do not recognize any of your names being in the family Bible I have, so the connection must be remote.

Re: EMAL'S

2003-07-13 02:31:16Z

YES we are associated with them. all the Emal, Emmal, Imel, Emel,and Emil, names come from the same family to start with. Their is a book that the Mormons have that has ALL that information in; we have a small portion of that book and it is really interesting.

We are part of the Jacob line -- let me see; my husband Ron --- son of Clyde --- son of Clayton son of Jacob? I think I would have to get the book out to know for sure on Jacob.

So who are you and how do you fit in the group? let me know soon.

Re: EMAL'S

2003-07-12 17:13:40Z

Basically I have little new to add for you if you do not have
my granddau Angela Baker who now has son Josh and
dau Cadence---and I am sorry I do not have even the
particulars of this because another generation of this family here in Lexington Ky is fragmented and alienated---and the
children have different fathers from whom she married and
she is living with the dau's father now who is another Baker
from Ky but not close kith and kin to my knowledge---this
has never been a close knit family---or one that cared to
keep its genealogy correct and hand it down well

Re: Emmal and Baker Families of Ky

2003-07-12 17:05:34Z

Basically I know very little of the family bcause my paternal
grandmother Katherine Emma gddau of Wm Brown and
Catherine Miller. dau of Joseph Burt and Annie Prewitt was
never much for talking about the family history---cared nothing
for handing it on to other generations so I have had to dig
and dig to get anything ---too many divorces also separated
me from the family documents---the families in Lex Ky
esp after the Civil War were too split on other levels as
well so they never kept the history in tact and accurate
sorry

Smith G Baker jr was my father and he married 1st Evelyn Vaughn(?) and divorced,then my mother Sienna Delorse
Ball,b Jessamine Co Ky Mar 21,1918 still alive,they had
3 living children and the one recorded here who died at
birth- navel cord wrapped and choked the large healthy
child due to inept medical care of day,etc. I was the eldest
Janice L Baker 09-19-1936 Fayette Co KY,m Ira T Baker
(not known close kin) Md.div Fayette Co KY-had Norman

Thomas Baker 08-20-1946 Ky m Cindy Weaver, no child
Terrance Baker 11-07-1948 Ky m 1 Bobbi Moseley had one

After speaking to my aunt- she said that Alvin M. Emmal is most likely my grandfather based on his siblings names. His middle name is Nelson however, could there be a mistake in the information from the census?

I would love any other information you have on the blood line.

Thank you,
