NOTES - 

Person notes and anecdotes in Ed' family tree for Reinert Emerson: had a car, an Overland, but some have said he never drove. He frequently gave compliments. Always predicting a revolution. He may have been a carpenter and worked with concrete from what some grandchildren can remember.

In 1948, one grandson remembers that he noticed Reinert's hands trembled uncontrollably. Made him wonder if his granddad had Parkinson's disease like his granddad's brother Chris?

One granddaughter recollected that, "I would suppose all of our family drank from saucer. I remember mostly Grampa Emerson. Perhaps because filled cup to overflowing when cream was added?"

This same granddaughter remembered, "Mother (Alice) told me that Grandpa Emerson (Reinert) knitted socks during the war [first world war, 2nd world war, or both?]."

SOURCES AND RESEARCH NOTES (notes in blue) - 

This source list is the result of selecting and adding sources to Facts in Ed Ostrom's on line Ancestry Member Tree found as Ed Ostrom's Family Tree on Ancestry.com and then "syncing" this tree with my desktop tree that is one Family Tree Maker. From Family Tree Maker, I used the report publishing function.

I realized the source list presented was not in "Evidence Explained" format as defined by author Elizabeth Shown Mills, so have tried to reformat those sources. Those interested should be able to locate the documents and records I used from the information included. I am working to learn how to revise the source citations provided from Family Tree Maker into the proper format, so please bear with me.
