Does anyone have any information on a Emma Caroline Gerkin(?spelling)
hop2it2
who married a Donald McDonald on 8.3.1886, any or all of this information I have may be incorrect and I am looking to confirm if it is correct or not. Together they may have had a daughter, Isabella Mary born in Waiwera South 25.2.1891. If I can get confirmation then this Isabella would be my husbands great grandmother. I have another Isabella Mary McDonald in our tree from different parents but the dates etc fit so need to eliminate one of them. Thanks in advance for any help/information. Suzanne

I am a direct descendant of this couple and have compiled a Gerken and a McDonald family tree. Happy to share information.
Isabella was "Aunty Bell" to me, and later in life she remarried a cousin, Victor Gerken. I remember visiting them often when I was a child.
cheers

hop2it2 on 2016-12-02 19:23:44Hello Kaye,
Thank you for your reply, I would be really appreciative of receiving information on Isabella, I had read somewhere that she remarried a cousin. So you would be a relative of my husbands then through Isabella's side? I would love it if you would contact me via email so we can share information, hop2it2@rocketmail.com thank you very much
