I have the information concerning the children of Mary Elizabeth Emert and J. J. Alexander as this was my grandfathers mother's mom and dad. I also have the information on the Emerts back to Johan Phillip. Now I don't think I know about Peter if you share that please. What I am having trouble with is J. J. Alexander's parentage. His death certificate that was on file drew a blank as to even where he was born. He died in Knox Co, Tn.
