Robert,
My gr. grandmother's name was Ann Hope Hart
although the Hope (her presumed maiden name)
has not yet been confirmed. Anyway, on the
record of her last child's baptism at St.
Francis Xavier RC Church in Phila. (1870),
the name that shows is Ann Amer.
Not only that, she was born in PA on May 7,
1827 and died in June, 1885, living all if
not most of her life in Philadelphia. I had
not come across the name Amer anyplace else
till tonight so finding it here on Genforum
itself was interesting and when I read your
message it was especially interesting.
Ann and her husband and children initially
lived in the Lemon Hill area of PA/Philly
until 1868 or so and then moved to West St.
(now Uber). She herself was not Roman Catholic (until her deathbed conversion) but her husband William Hart (Harter) was and
so the connection to St. Francis Xavier and
later the Gesu Parish. Because of the dates,
she could not be the Ann Amer you noted but
perhaps could have been a niece or something.
Also, William who was German spoke little
English so the baptisn records have various
versions of his name and hers.
Anyway, if this seems like a lead for you,
perhaps I could send you whatever other info
I have. I am curious if you have addresses
for any of the Amers for the years 1850 to
1885.
Good luck with your research.
John Murray
