The so called "Egert Book" or aka "the BIG Green book" is a family tree done by Mary Jane Egert of Annawan and Linda Oberle Perkins. They lived neighbors in Eight Mile, their families played together and had always known they were related, some how. They set off to discover exactly how. Many of the Loraine Township or "Eight Mile" families with names like Oberle, Egert, Clementz, Yackley, Rink, Hummel, have married into each other. These wonderful ladies searched court records, library records and family records, and compiled this book of over 300 pages. Complete with plat maps, and pictures. This was done about 1983, and they sold it to family members for about 16.00. Mine is so worn I've had to put it into a three ring binder! Hope this answers your questions. I've made a 'sorta' index of all the surnames, and how they are connected with each of the seven siblings of George and Anastasia Yackley (Jaegli) Egert. The children are: Joseph "George" Egert b 13 Aug 1822 Michael Egert b 24 Oct 1828 Barnhart (Bernard) Egert b 03 Spt 1836 Theresa (Dress) Egert b 30 Spt 1838 mar RINK Helen Egert b 02 Aug 1840 mar OBERLE Julienne Egert b 15 Dec 1844 mar CLEMENTZ Daughter b about 1846-47 drowned 2 other children no information All the children were born in Wittisheim, Alsace, France and immigrated with parents.
