Emma Rebeck/Rebcik/Repcik/Reperik Gerbic

We know very little about Emma Rebeck. We have her death certificate that shows very little. Her parents names are not known, and where she is from is unreadable. The informant for her death certificate is her husband Frank

Emma was 33 when she died July 9, 1909 which means she was probably born in 1876.



Birth certificate for her oldest child Rudolph Gerbitz born April 12, 1895. Her name is spelled Reperik




John Gerbic born December 29, 1897






This birth certificate of her daughter Anna Antonia in April 29, 1899 spells Emma's name as Amalie Rejncik. But July 25, 1943 a legal document changed the birth certificate to spell Anna's mother's name as Emma Rebcik (and it is typewritten, so readable)



According to her son Frank John Gerbic's birth certificate we see that March 7, 1947 they officially changed the spelling on the document. This time (also typed) Emma's last name is Repcik.
