Research status

Research status: PROBABLE — added 24 September 2026 and entered in the family tree the same day, labelled probable there too; Emma Stein Ladusch's Texas death certificate no. 20521 (30 March 1952, Austin) S326, read from the image, her husband Otto Ladusch informant, names her father as Henry Stein, born Germany, and her mother as Amanda “Emmerd” (the reading is uncertain), born England. The 1900 census gives both her parents' birthplace as Germany, so the mother's birthplace is unsettled and no surname is entered for her

Evidence: Emma Stein Ladusch's 1952 Texas death certificate, her husband the informant; an 1871 New Ulm baptism register names Henry Stein's wife as Maria née Emmert. Weak or missing: The register calls her Maria, not Amanda, and no record yet joins the two names; the 1952 certificate says she was born in England, the 1900 census Germany, and the 1880 census has Henry's wife as Mary, born Texas, without saying she was Emma's mother.

Life in the order the records give it

Birth1871
Born in England, by her daughter's death certificate. Her maiden name is uncertain: the certificate's “Emmerd” may be the Emmett that the family account on the Ladusch–Stein line gives for Henry Stein's wife. An 1871 New Ulm baptism register names Henry Stein's wife as Maria née Emmert S633, so the surname is probably Emmert; that Maria and Amanda were the same woman is not yet proven
Census1871
🆕 In 1871 the New Ulm Lutheran baptism register calls Henry Stein's wife Maria geb. Emmert (“born Emmert”), at the baptism of their son Johann Wilhelm Dietrich, born 8 October 1871 S633. It was written at the time, and the surname is clear. Probable confirm or correct → The register calls her Maria, not Amanda. She is probably the same woman, but no record yet joins the two names, and her birthplace, England or Germany, is still open. added 26 September 2026.
Census1880
🆕 In the 1880 census, read from the image, Henry Stein's wife is Mary, 35, keeping house, born Texas, with Emma, 5, among the children S919. That is a third birthplace for Emma's mother, after England on the 1952 certificate and Germany in 1900, and it fits the register's Maria geb. Emmert, of New Ulm. The census does not say that Mary was Emma's mother. added 28 September 2026.

Compiled for the Proeger family

Living adults appear by name and relationship, with the year only: no full date of birth and no home town on any page that search engines index, and a living person’s own page is kept out of search engines. Minors appear by name only — no date of birth, no birth year, no age, no school, no place, no address, no other identifying detail. A minor may be named and may appear in a family photograph; nothing further about them is published. Where it is not established whether someone is an adult or a minor, the minor rule applies.
