Dear Cousins, Can anyone explain the following Reagan problem? According to Donald B. Reagan, THE BOOK OF REGAN/REAGAN, the maternal grandmother of Daniel Emmett Reagan is Barbara Ann Emmert (Emert). She was the dau. of Johan Friedrich (Frederick) Emmert and Anne Barbara (Barbara Ann) Neidig. John Friedrich Emmert is the son of Johan Philip Emmert and Maria Catharina Kamm. Maria Catharina Kamm is the dau. of Caspar Kamm and Anna Catharina Franck. Barbara Ann Neidig is the dau. of Daniel Neidig and Anna Margaretha ___. However, according to the International Genealogical Index at http://www.familysearch.org Barbara Ann Emert is the dau. of Frederick Emert and Barbara Nigtish (Knight). Frederick Emert is the son of John George Emert and Eva Maria Graff. Barbara Nigtish is the dau. of Nicholas Knight and Mary Rosena. Maybe Neidig and Nigtish are the same name (maybe not). But Daniel and Anna Margaretha Neidig does not seem to be the same married couple as Nicholas Knight (Nigtish) and Mary Rosena. And was the mother of Johan Frederick Emert named Maria Catherina Kamm or Eva Maria Graff? We all, of course, realize that what we read in books or on the web are really only clues to follow until we have copies of the actual historical documentation, and this case again proves the need to use primary sources. But can someone throw some light upon this apparent discrepancy? And not guesses, but facts.
