Hi Lisa, I am researching Richard Tanis and Minnie Emmett on behalf of my friend, who is a great grandson through their daughter, Margaret Tanis Gow. Richard died on 1 June 1938 and both he and Minnie are buried at Fairlawn Cemetery on Maple Ave in Fairlawn, NJ. Many Tanises lived in the Paterson area, and I am having some difficulties sorting out the various families. I believe (but am not yet certain) that Minnie was the daughter of Jacob Emmet (listed as surname "Amos" on the 1880 census in Paterson) and that surname "Emmet" and "Amos" might originally have been "Emaus." Please contact me directly at [email protected] and perhaps we can share our information. Thanks, Nancy
