This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Scheer, Emrich, Rulf Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/CRFBAEB/9.27.30.1 Message Board Post: The Bertha Scheer I was looking for was married to a Theodore Scheer. She was born Bertha Emrich, daughter of Adam and Karolina Rulf Emrich. They were farmers in Madison County, Nebraska. Karolina was my paternal grand-aunt. Adam and Karolina came to the U S in 1884, one year after my grandfather (her brother) came over. The Rulf's came from the Rheinland-Pfalz area near Ramstein (the village name is Kottweiler-Schwanden). I do have dates if you think you need them. I have no ancestral information on Theodore Scheer so do not know if there is a connection. Thank you for your inquiry and good "hunting."
