Her brother, Wolfgang's name on military records is Neimer, with a note saying "also found as Nemer". Wolfgang's tombstone also lists his name as Nemer.

She arrived with her brothers and sisters; Anna 25, Francisca 20, Joseph 18, Georg 14, Wolfgang 8 years old. The Nehmer children are listed between Casper and Anna Obermeyer and their son Xavier, 5 years old. It is speculated that the children's father died, and Anna re-married to Casper Obermeyer.
